Yes, I agree.

Just perfect!

I'll even agree to delete commit rights on SVN for translators and that everyone stick to Transifex. If someone likes to work offline, no problem! He/she will download the file from Tx, translate it offline and then upload it back on Tx! Then let's Tx do the commit job.


Now, I read something about an administration interface where the coordinators can validate which translations are to be committed by the daily script. This is very useful when you have to integrate new translators and validate their skills. So, when we can expect this?
