I am not familiar with transflex. Something we should be looking into?

Walter,
one of our colleagues is the founder of http://transifex.org/ .
Transifex was built from the start to act as a bridge between  content and
translators: It works directly with upstream projects and all
transactions are automatically applied to the remote source
repository. This means that the translation community can contribute
straight to the original content, no matter where it is hosted. This
removes the need to host contributions on the translation server
itself, and minimizes the overhead of constantly sync-ing content
between the servers.

Transifex is currently used by two major Linux distributions: Moblin,
supported by Intel and the Linux Foundation, and Fedora, sponsored by
Red Hat. It is also used on www.transifex.net, a common hub for
translations. The latter is supported by Indifex, which is a company
driving the development of Tx, also providing support and consultancy
around the technology and community-powered L10n in general.

You can read more about it at:

I'm also CCing Dimitris Glezos, Tx's lead developer, to answer any  questions.

Regards,
Theodoros
