No, you are not. You are the content writers. You are editing the
original content, changing the text that is going to be translated by
the hordes of translators teams waiting at l10n.gnome.org. Most
translators of the GIMP user manual will not even checkout the gimp-help
package. They will download the po files from l10n.gnome.org and ask
their translation team leader to commit their translation back to the
version control system.
