This looks like an interesting project. There certainly appears to be a wider range of languages and backgrounds than we have active on the git list doing translation work.

As a maintainer it looks easy for me to use. Email in a POT file, rsync back the PO files a week or two later. But they ask to be the sole source for PO files for a package, for all languages, and the translaters may or may not make git a priority.

I'm open to using it for git-gui. What do the other translators active on the list think?
