we can may be focus on a process to get translations visible faster when 
ready.
There is an Hack Call on the 12th to talk about that.

I am not sure someone can decide for others :) What is done is opening 
tools. Time should decide what is the natural main one according to the 
ease of use and efforts done on each ones. Here are the trends so far:

- Quick base: Transifex translations manually uploaded to GitHub. GitHub 
been where maintainers are working to implement in Plinth.
- Search for a free tool easily sync with GithUb: Weblate sync account 
has been created. It will be adverstise on /Translate for newcomers and 
Debian translators discussion list as a main tool since they don't have 
to do anything more than translate to get their effort in GitHub.

In a nutshell, langages already on Transifex can stay on this platform 
if they feel confortable with that. In the process, i may ask if they 
are ok to swithc though, but each coordinator is free to work where it 
is the best for them and the maintainers. We'll see if that free will 
process is working well.

If you think this process is the best for you, it should be considered 
then. Along with a wiki page for all langages status in order to 
newscomers being aware your language is already done and updated.
