In the ddtp the difference between submitting and suggesting is:

submitting:
-----------

The 'member' of the DDTP translate/review a description. The normal
know process...

suggestion:
-----------

A random user/third party (like lunchpad) make something like a bug
report for a translation.

The suggestion is for user, that don't even know DDTP, the word list,
the rules etc.

The 'member' of the DDTP can merge the suggestion to the DDTP or
delete it.

You get the point?
