more translators doesnt neccesarily mean anything.
I agree, weblate is super useful for the bokmal translation work.
For Chinese (and some other languages) I'm not convinced.

half of them are not translations but numbers "translated" to numbers,
eg the english string '77' is "translated" to '77'.

interestingly enough, 'make status' shows these strings now, however I
assume most of them are strings like 77.
also, again, without adding those translations to Copyright, we cannot
legally distribute them.
and, by adding them there, this causes work to all translators
*immediatly*, while its totally not clear whether they will be continued
or abonded shortly.
so, in other words: weblate is nice, but needs some staging area,
without immediatly causing work for (many) other people.
