I still assert that you don't need le to ask that particular question.
"Translator of Abiword into Catalan" is quite specific and only applies
to one person. Even if it applied to 2 or 3 people, it would still be
specific enough to ask "are you one of the translators?".

I guess I just don't see the need for "specifity"(?) just because you
happen to have something in mind.
