I have made requests from several language teams over the years. The
most recent request I made before this one, for example, was a month
ago to the Spanish team about their translation for Bison. A couple
weeks before that, I requested a change to the German team about their
translation for Diffutils. I have a reasonably good record of having
requests accepted, even though I am not a native speaker of any
language other than English. This is the first time that such a
request has been rejected so abruptly. (I assume you're speaking for
the hr team here.)
Obviously I don't have the time to check every byte of every
translation, but it's not unreasonable for me to make requests when I
see the opportunity.

Oh, my. Have the Bosnians agreed on a dialect now? It's hard to
imagine Bosnians agreeing about anything. :-(

It's a minor request for a comment in the style already used by the
Norwegian teams. I don't see why it's out of line to request it here.
