Replying to [comment:6 Claude Paroz]:
> Unfortunately, managing users in Transifex teams is a nightmare. Either
you accept anyone who asks and you find yourself having horrible
translation quality or... I don't know the alternative :-(
The alternative is quite easy, don't use Transifex (nor an alternative).
That's what we do for https://docs.python.org/fr, we just have a repo [1],
humans review PRs [2] and we're having a good result in the end (I think).
I remember a very old time when we tried Transifex (or a tool like it) and
ended up with crap or ads instead of translations.
The process is surprisingly more human than on tools like tx, as humans
can discuss in PRs, helping themselves finding better translations, I like
it.
To be honest, there's other translations under docs.python.org that make
use of Transifex, so it's not all good or all bad I bet... I have no idea
how they handle requests not the quality of the result though, I can't
read those languages...
