[wp-polyglots] translate.wordpress.org

[Xavier Borderie]

Count me among those who will probably keep using poEdit or a text
editor in addition to using GlotPress. While this tool is a great idea
and we plan on installing on WPFR to handle to the translation of the
many WP Foundation projects, it still lacks a few must-haves, such as
search-and-replace. Having a web-based tool is great for
collaboration, but as a two-guys translation team here in FR-land, it
might be at times a hindrance rather than an help. It's great, though
to see suggestion from community members :)

So, basically, we'll certainly use to get community input, but will
most certainly heavily rely on export/import in order to make a few
check-ups ourselves.
