only translation environment, as it seems to be preferred method now, but
what I'm really concerned is how translations are coming back from Transife=
x
to SVN - AFAIK translations for release are still taken from SVN not
directly from Transifex. Maybe I've forgotten something but I do not
remember any clear decision who has to do it, we, translators, or somebody
else (mysterious translation coordinator?). Though, I seem to remember, it
was proposed to be responsibility of developers themselves but looking at
http://svn.mandriva.com/viewvc/soft/?sortby=3Ddate I rather doubt they
consider it or, maybe, even know it is their responsibility...
