I took a closer look at Weblate and I don't know if it will fit for dpkg translation.
Here are just a few remarks that you might want to consider:
- I think Weblate will fit for smaller translations (Debian Security Annoucement and such), but dpkg is huge (+22K lines for man/po/fr.po) and I don't see myself going from an untranslated chain to another by clicking a hundred times;
- Weblate is good for team translation, but when Raphaël "recruted" me, he wanted French translation to be under the responsibility of one person (eventually with a co-translator). I agree with it as it improves the coherence of the translation;
- Weblate is a kind of SaaS that requires to be online to work, I am not always connected and I'd rather keep my work on my computer then share it to others for review "when it's ready".
