Translators: How can your workflow be improved?

The PMC wants to know how your effort translating Xaraya can be made
faster and easier.

Currently, translations happen one of three ways:

1: Coordinated remote efforts of individuals
2: From the various Xaraya language sites
3: Ferenc's xarML tool

Regardless of the method, getting changes into the languages
repository currently requires some manual effort by someone else who
has access to the server or can commit to the repository directly.

So how can the process be improved to improve efficiency and eliminate
bottlenecks?

Here are some options we've thought of:

1: Grant targeted commit access to the reposiory.

Each language branch can be set so that only the people who work on
that translation can commit to it.  This would allow you to work
locally and follow a process closer to that of other development
areas.

2: Create a new Xaraya site dedicated to translation work, such as
mls.xaraya.com.

As in #1, Privileges can be used to limit who can access which translations.

3: Install xarML at mls.xaraya.com.

Ferenc's xarML tool seems to be popular among those who have used it.
However, he is aware of the resources it requires, which our server
isn't ideally suited for.

These may not be the only options available, so the PMC wants to hear
ideas from those who actually do this work.  Our preference is that
everyone agrees on a single standardized process that requires the
least amount of maintenance.  We want translators to be just as
autonomous as anyone else.
