I strongly agree with Petter. In addition we should consider the following: - We have put in significant effort in moving to Weblate (integration, time and money). - One day, FreedomBox project may host its own instance of Weblate on Foundation's infrastructure for the benefit of FreedomBox and other projects. - Based on the feedback from translators, Weblate has not major drawbacks that we care about and is likely not slower than Transifex. - Weblate commits to our Git repository based with translator's name. In general, the workflow as been quite nice and as I gather the same can't be said for Transifex. - Michal Čihař, the person in-charge of Weblate, has been very supportive of FreedomBox (and free software in general) and provides us good support. We have a mutual promotion arrangement with Weblate (see front page of weblate.org and FreedomBox Wiki/Plinth pages). -- Sunil
