Although I only have a few translations for a couple of my themes, generally all I offer as a credit is a reference in the changelog of the version when the translation was added with the translator's full name and an email address.<br>
Interestingly enough, none have ever offered to update their translations even though some of the text strings have changed ... I guess I better go back and check those files.<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br>

It's quite common for popular plugins to recieve such translation<br>
requests, in my opinion, the one you recieved was actually rather<br>
tame.<br>
<br>
I've had very forceful sounding emails, which i usually assume is a<br>
"lost in translation" issue. I've even had translators threatening<br>
legal action due to me refusing to credit them in the SEO-scammy ways<br>
(even when not using their provided translations due to me not<br>
agreeing with their demands).<br>
<br>
I offer a text-link and their name in the readme, and refuse<br>
translations if they *require* a html link, the link has to be<br>
relevant as well, if it's some scam site or looks to be something that<br>
I would never want to link to, I ask for a personal site or alternate<br>
url..<br>
<br>
I've even refused a translation as upon looking closely at it, it had<br>
spam in the translated strings (The options page's heading had<br>
something like "Plugin Name (<strong>This plugin is supported by<br>
<a>blah blah</a>, visit XYZ for the best translation tools!</strong>)"<br>
inserted into it).<br>
<br>
So I'd just decide what you're happy to provide to translators, and<br>
stick to your guns, (and triple check the contents of the<br>
translations..). Full Name + Text link to Personal Site is what I<br>
"prefer".<br>
