Hi Mario,
The launchpad translations web platform does seem to have a lot of
potential. I need to investigate it further.
Is anybody able to comment on whether other Sword applications use a similar
tool to centralise and manage translations or has anybody actually used
https://translations.launchpad.net/ before?
Thanks
Martin
