Re: Problems commiting damned-lies package

I think WebLate would be a good pick. It has a glossary function too, which teams will find handy to help with terminology consistency. And you can download the files to translate too, in a long list of formats of your choice. And it has some QA checks too, like punctuation, printf placeholders
