I take your comment as an occasion to make a little explanation.


With Weblate, we will have a translation memory server. It's what we 
abbreviate as TM.

In our hosting plan, I'll ask this translation memory server to be on a 
second server, on side of Weblate's main server. The user experience 
will be unchanged, results will still be displayed in Weblate.

My idea is that:

* TM server could have really different requirement in terms of resources,

* we should be able to feed it with content coming from other 
open-source initiatives,

* we may share it with one or more open-source initiatives,

* we may move it to our infrastructure (I suspect we'll require some 
automation at some point)


I understand that Benson would like to work on a machine translation server.
It's what we abbreviate as MT. It makes it really easy to get confused, 
I did the mistake myself in the council ticket...

This machine translation server will display suggestions in addition of 
the translation memory server, and teams will be able to use it if it is 
relevant for there language.

This is a really welcome initiative, but this won't be part of the 
hosting plan we asked Council money for. This server will most probably 
use the community openshift infrastructure, which means Benson and other 
volunteer in our community will have to administrate it.


Note that both translation memory and machine translation servers only 
get better with more source content, it's a virtuous circle that 
benefits everyone.
