2. KDE (as far as I know): Someone has to register to local mailing list. Request for a file. Coordinator sends him the po file. The person sends the file back to coordinator. The coordinator commits the file. Not sure where someone can check the stats or what file he was to translate. It looks too complicated to me and too slow.
For a non-coordinator to translate KDE, all the guy needs to do is:
1) go to l10n.kde.org, e.g. http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/da/ and download the PO-file 2) translate the PO with his preferred editor 3) e-mail the translated PO to the coordinator (e-mail address can be found in any KDE app under Help -> About [APP] -> Translation).
This is too simple. The pot file and consequently the po file may have changed in the meantime. So merging is needed and possibly some quality control on the translation. So either you merge the newest pot file with the received po file in case you trust the translation or you put the received po file in the translation memory and start translating the newest po file from the repository. Newly translated entries are easily spotted, because they appear in the TM field. Updated translations are difficult to spot in that case.
Of course it would make sense for the guy to give the coordinator notice before starting work to avoid duplicated work. It might also make sense to join a mailing list or an IRC channel where coordination and standardization can take place.
Here I could see some benefits of Weblate when looking at suggestions to improve translations.
And I don't see how a web based tool would change this. Except a web based tool might undermine any sort of "team spirit" and standardization efforts, by making it a free for all, leaving it to the reviewer/manager to clean up after "hit and run" translators.
