The code is all in for 2.5.0 but it is still only enabled for terminology
projects.  You can see an example here:
http://staging.locamotion.org/af/firefox/pootle-terminology.po/translate/#unit=1642831

You need to be logged in to see the votes.

The voting code is part of the main pootle_store so is technically
available to all projects, but they features are not enabled in the
template for normal translation but are in edit_term.html

So to enable voting across the projects (note: there is some debate about
whether this is valuable i.e. lots of vote doesn't mean the translation is
correct) you could pull that code across and test.

We'd be happy to accept patches that enable site wide voting as a
configurable option for the Pootle server.

It would be possible, if it was coded, it isn't possible now.  The idea is
built on the assumption of lots of votes==good translation.  I'm not sure I
agree with that as a feature with the risks of language skills and abuse.

>From a code perspective it shouldn't be that hard.  More useful might be
looking at ways to leverage the votes e.g.:

1) Filter to find high vote count items - at least a human is reviewing
important items
2) Export PO files including translations with high votes - would allow
testing of all the voted suggestions

Hope that helps a bit.
