Hey Vlada, thanks for your feedback, sadly I can’t see any specific issue in your post that could be turned into a ticket.
The split of translation files between core and the contrib apps was done to be able to have more accurate translation statistics as well as being able to separate higher and lower importance translation catalogs from each other. E.g. the core and the admin translations for example are much more likely to be seen by a user by the rest of the optional contrib apps. When we moved to Transifex we were given the ability to also see this distinction in their user interface. I’m eager to hear what you mean with “various troubles from system administration”, care to elaborate? Also, what do you mean with “thousands of cumulative useless clicks on Transifex or in poedit”?
