I used Zanata, but found it not very intuitive to use. It's also painfully slow.
I'm unaware of any big projects that use zanata. Well openstack does, but they use a self hosted version and that one is not faster. I'm not sure how Mailman 2 was translated, but I guess most of the translators did it offline. You can download translation files from pootle and later upload them. So anyone that doesn't want to translate in the browser, can still do it offline.
Since gettext will be the interchange format, it will probably not be that difficult to switch to a different service if we ever find we need to.
I appreciate your feedback on Zanata, and honestly we just need an i18n champion to make it happen. My apologies for such a long delay in responding here, but Simon, if you're still willing to take the lead on i18n, I will be happy to defer to your preferences.
So If you give me the ok, I write the gnu pootle maintainers and ask them to create three projects for us.
+1 - if you're still willing, let's do this. Core is very nearly ready to start rc'ing for 3.1 so I think this is a great time to being building the infrastructure for i18n.
I guess we could add links in postorius and hyperkitty that request assistance with translation.
+1
