Hi,

If Transifex is such a good tool (it is thanks to Dimitri Glezos) that
it could attract well-known developer like Lennart, maybe we sould
suggest TP to set up an instance on their website.
Or GNOME could do it. Actually we could only translate applications
which are hosted on the GNOME svn. What about other GTK apps ou GNOME
dependencies which are hosted elsewhere? It would be nice if we could
attract developers like Fedora does.
Yes, I know we already have a lot of work to do, but it would bring
homogeneous translations to the GTK software family. We already let nice
programs to be translated on Launchpad (with many drawbacks), see Og
Maciel's BillReminder, do we want to see other GNOME-related apps to be
translated in yet another website?

Regards,

Bob.

N.B. Note that I don't want to suggest that fedora translation teams are
making poor translations. From what I know from my language team, they
are nicely organized.
