This came up a couple of months ago. Here's why I don't think it's
appropriate to ship with Django:

Basically, it turns out most translators already have a preferred
toolchain and may well not want to use a web-based tool.

The question you need to answer is: "Does the Django project gain
anything by including this in core?".

I can give several reasons why the answer is no.

 1) Rosetta may be a fantastic tool - but it's a fantastic tool
already without needing to be in the core.

 2) By including it in core, we stifle the development of alternative
approaches to the problem.

 3) By including it in the core, we add complexity to the core. This
is one more thing that needs to be maintained by the core before we
can do a release.

In short, I'm not inclined to agree that we should include
Django-Rosetta in core.

Yours,

I don't see it as being critical enough to be worth maintaining it by the
core devs since there are already good apps that can work with translation
files on all platforms.
