To clarify, coordinator as seen by Transifex and coordinator as seen by PEP 545 are not strictly equivalent :
- PEP 545 is tool agnostic, so a coordinator for PEP 545 is the obvious person to ask any question about a given translation, either from local translator point of view or from the core team / psf point of view.
- Transifex Coordinator is ... I don't know in fact, but I bet it's documented in transfiex documentation.
I bet being the PEP 545 coordinator for a language that uses transifex mostly implies that the same person should be coordinator on transifex, or could delegate the task to someone else.
About the PSF CLA signing, IANAL but:
- Simply translating does not require CLA signing thanks to the paragraph (from PEP 545) every translation put in their README clearly indicating that all the works is in CC0.
- Producing more that just translations (PR against docsbuild-scripts, cpython, psf-salt, or any repo in github.com/python/, linked to the translation or not) requires the CLA to be signed and is enforced by a bot.
- Helping a community (like being a PEP545 coordinator, a transfiex coordinator, organizing meetups, and so on) don't require CLA signing.
In any cases, or in doubt, I'd say sign it now, so if you need to push something in a python related repo in the future, you won't be slowed down with the signing process.
Bests,
