That is annoy for both translators and project maintainers. For translators they have to request to join the translation for each project. And for the project maintainers, they don't automatically get the translation teams for all languages as l10n.gnome.org does, they have to assign/approval for each language. As a translator on l10.gnome.org, it's quite easy for me to have a general idea which project needs more translation, and it's free for me to pick one and translate it. It's not to request to the maintainer for the translation. I don't think the project maintainer should worry too much about the quality in this way, since there are team coordinators who will review every translation before they commit. And the team is not specific for any project, that is, the team have successfully translate maybe hundreds of projects. Based on the experience, it's trustful for any new project. At least it's better than project maintainer manually pick someone he don't know, and maybe he/she is just the first one request for translation for the project. I love doing translation on l10n.gnome.org. The only problem is missing connection to external repositories, which is better at Transifex.net. They create accounts on sourceforge/github etc, so to allow the project hosting on Transifex.net for translation, the only thing need to do is add the specific user, someone like 'transifex', to the project as developer. That is, it's possible to commit the translation directly to the repository. -- Regards Tao Wang
