Thankyou for translating, but I'm afraid we can't really use your
translation - you've licensed it as
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ which doesn't allow
commercial use or modification, both of which we really need to be able
to permit.

Both restrictions are contrary to the DFSG, for example, so your
translation couldn't be included in Debian packages.  I imagine similar
issues would apply to most other Linux distributions.

Would you be willing to consider a less restrictive licence?

Cheers,
    Olly
