Well it is. Transifex does not force you to use its web interface. If
you want to work with poedit or kbabel, you can do it. Like I said on
some other mail :
http://help.transifex.net/user-guide/client/index.html#for-translators

For me, tx pull/tx push with the command line client is the same as svn
co/svn ci

About the transifex-client, a package will be available soon in Mandriva
2010.X. In the meantime it can be installed with easy_install or pip
