I'd prefer to be able to submit translations directly to git.git, and build a localized git with "make" and no network access. Most programs that use gettext do this, sed seems to be an exception, and actually I've never seen anyone do it like that. Some maintain their translations in some web interface, but I haven't seen a project that doesn't commit them *at all*.

I can't see why translations in the tree (in po/) should be any trouble at all for us. What sort of issues do you see that the sed.git model might solve?
