"Translators" are not developers. So the people who translate 
normally have no idea how a source repository works, how they 
would clone this ... many (if not most) translators don't even know
how their translations make their way into the final product
(it is not really important to translators, as long as the
translation *makes* the way into the builds). 
I'd guess most of our developers even don't have an idea, what our
translation workflow looks like.

The other problem with such a CWS would be, that ~100 people would
contribute to this cws. Although this might be technical possible,
I'd guess this is not "our normal way" to handle CWSes.

Yes - we should change the way we we work with translations ... but
I don't think, we would gain much, if translators would directly
contribute to a CWS.

PS: If you like and have time, I'm in Hamburg next Thursday. I'd be happy to 
have a beer in the evening somewhere ;)
