#1257: Preventing plugin author fields from being translated

 There are some plugin header fields which, in my plugins at least, are not
 appropriate for translation:

  * Plugin URI
  * Author
  * Author URI

 Prior to language packs, I would manually review translations sent to me
 to ensure that these fields had not been changed. Now that translations
 are being handled on translate.wordpress.org, these translations are out
 of my hands.

 How can I be assured that a translator or locale moderator does not change
 one of these fields to show their own name or link for my plugin?
