Re: Web interface for translation for GNOME

[Rafael Ferreira <rafael f f1 gmail com>]

For what is worth, Xfce uses Transifex to manage translations. it used to be an instance installed in Xfce servers for long time, but recently it migrated to the hosted version (in transifex.com). Two issues were identified and might never be solved: translators' comments are removed by the Tx [1] and old/obsolete messages marked by gettext are also removed [2]. In spite of that, its Web Editor is indeed good.

My opinion, if it counts, I prefer Damned Lies the way it is today.

If I'm not mistaken, LXDE translators are using pootle and I also
heard there's a GNOME translation team also being using it. I also
have asked somewhat similar question a few years ago here and was too
lazy to configure it. By it I meant pootle server.
