I'd just like to reinforce some of what Arash has said. I find Gnome's
translation tool difficult and even though I am the coordinator of en_AU
I have never been able to commit anything I have done. This leaves
people frustrated and they go onto other projects. MATE and XFCE, along
with thousands of other FLOSS projects (such as Pidgin, Kodi, etc etc
etc) use Transifex. I don't see a need for anyone to reinvent the wheel
(like Mozilla is doing) when a simple and easy to use tool is available
already.
Cheers.
Michael.

Re: New DL option for committers
Hi Claude,
"Damned Lies" is a nice tool, but not really a full featured one. In
comparison to other translations tools, I think a lot of effort is wasted
on learning and working with repositories, reviewing, making the
glossaries... Me, as a coordinator of a very small localization team on
Gnome, find it very hard to find and keep people contributing to gnome
localization, because of this matter: it's hard. I also often prefer people
not to contribute at all, while it's very time consuming to review
translation than translating them all by myself, and damned lies does not
really help on this matter either.
I just wanted to draw your attention to a tool Mozilla is working on,
Pontoon [1][2]. They also found it hard to integrate their tools and
repositories with Pootle, so they started Pontoon and they're migrating
most of the old Pootle stuff into Pontoon. While it's written with Python
and Django (which I'm not a fan of both), you might wanna take a look and
see if gnome infrastructure can also use Pontoon.
I can also offer my help on developing a new tool for Gnome, but I'm a
Ruby/Rails/JS developer. If I knew Python I'd be contributing to "Damned
Lies" already.
Best Wishes,
Arash
