Just a quick comment from me leading Serbian translation team. I think it is much better to have Weblite like system with possibility to translate a few string from time to time, than all the complicated workflow with downloading po files. It is also very straightforward for reviewers, and I have seen it in numerous other projects (including LibreOffoce that has adopted such solution recently).
The options are to get some good solution to get this job done or to improve DL to allow direct online translation. I believe the second option is also not hard to accomplish.
