FWIW, everytime I had to deal with translations as developer (like checking pot files as well as .po files contents) I found having the web interface and its browsing feature very valuable to quickly find what I was looking for, over having to locally mess around with svn commands and juggling between commandline & file viewers. Including url bookmarks for quick access to browsing certain sets of files. Incidents which I remember right now included: * finding out whether extraction scripts were working as intended * comparing translations seen by users over what they should see Are there any other KDE clients of the svn repos still around, besides translation system? Perhaps the "full clone" needed for WebSVN could be reduced to the translation subtrees, would that improve situation to a degree if possible? (well, you surely thought of this yourself, just in case) For me as developer contributor to projects in KDE spheres, losing the web browsing interface for raw translation files would be a regression in developer experience.
