There have been a few occasions on which these browser based translation tools have been suggested. Our policy is that it's entirely up to the individual translation teams (with some teams consisting of only a single person) to use whatever they want. We as the darktable project will neither force translators to use these nor forbid it. It's entirely up to you guys. That being said, I am not only a darktable developer but also the guy doing the German translation. And at least for de.po we will not use these services. There is a lot of work involved to keep the translations consistent, both in wording and style. Allowing drive by translations will break that for sure, and even working together with other people would be more work than just doing it alone (*). But that's just my personal opinion, others might think differently about that. > Best regards, > Guilherme Tobias * This doesn't mean that I am not interested in reports of wrong translations, everyone makes errors, and sometimes you just can't think of a good translation while others do. So everyone out there, whenever you find something funny in our localized versions (no matter what the language is), please tell us!
