This is correct. It could be as easy as: Push English strings from git to Tx: $ git pull $ tx push --source Push translations from Tx to git: $ tx pull --lang pt_BR $ git commit If someone is coding it *right now*, sure, I will gladly review the > patches, try to understand them and push them, but if that's just a wish > list, the wish will probably have to wait... > Having developed this functionality in the past (web editor which commits in repo upon save), I highly recommend against it. It's very error-prone, big can of worms. Also what Gil said, it's not worth the time with all those good tools out there. For what it's worth, the way we worked around it is to actually treat Transifex as the canonical place where translations leave instead of git. Like a VCS for translations on a string-level with many additional metadata Gettext does not support. Git just mirrors this (with automated commit scripts etc). This is also one of the biggest differences with the current GNOME workflow/setup. But, Gil is right, it is possible for specific teams which choose it.
