Good points, Christian. I can't but agree with you. For me, the message
is this: please don't read the situation as Transifex is a sort of universal
solution. Actually it is not. I'm afraid the module infrastructure we have
to deal with in GNOME is too complex, thus, the use of web tool solution
should be optional in my opinion.
