Hello, some question about your decision and managment!

while people.joomla is under beta, several changes may take place, but looking at it the changes could be due to (in my eyes)

a) Why remove me with group creator? What is the problem?

it seems that any change made by an admin gives control to the admin - bug perhaps?

b) Why change name? "For Hire" not is currect the group is for FREE!

i think that "free" is also considered a price, therefore you should still pitch. it would also prevent having multiple groups. free is covered well in "for hire"

c) Why change category? Not is for "Developers" is for "Translators"

translators have traditionally been in the Dev's grouping

d) Why edit description? Okay nice for note "NOT is OFFICIAL" but ...

because it is not an official group, the WG have an official translation discussion group. the official translations group deals with core, you are dealing with extensions

Okay for more points ...

A) The errors is solving in Administrator (Admin make change and generate error can solve error in Administor)...

B) I don't understand this point but okay... You are admin!

C) Okay for Developers Category... No problem!

D) Okay but Not Official not is good (If possible i prefer Joomla Translators for Extensions) is nice Not Official is very strong... Who join in not official group? but if i seek translators for extensions not is need Official or Not Official?

Thank's for your time...

Have you contacted the J!People Admins Sandra and Philippe? I had an issue on something with groups and they are very easy to work with. It's a breath of fresh air to be able to easily contact an admin on a social site - and especially to have ones that are so responsive!

I think the name change of the group was because of 2 reasons - one, it was promoting (at that time) a specific web site, so the group should have been created in Fan Clubs according to the Community Guidelines. The second reason from what I would guess (I'm not an admin or community manager of the J!People site, so just guessing here) is that there is already an official working group for Joomla Translation.

I like your idea of a group name as "Joomla Translators for Extensions" for a discussion group - I'd suggest PM'ing the admins and seeing if they will change that. If it changed to that, they would probably be willing to change you back to the group owner.

As to your site, joomlatranslators.org, a Fan Club could easily be created and, according to the community guidelines, it would provide much more flexible group ownership and promotion abilities.
