I cannot agree with you, Akihiro.
When stable-liberty version was created, we set master version as "Read 
Only".
Translators had to improve stable-liberty branch.
The corrections made in stable-liberty version is newer than the old 
translations in master version.
So when I merged, the newer translations will be copied and replaced the 
old translations.
So the corrections will be moved to the master version.

But the rejections will not.
So it's not a good practise to only reject translations in stable-liberty 
without input the correct translations.

Could you check in Nova master version?
I think your corrections to IBM translations should be moved to master 
version.
