Thanks for the pointer.

I forgot to mention that Im running on Heroku and theres no permanent file 
storage and there may be multiple machines availabel to serve requests.

Do you know if that is something the Extension:Translate would have an issue 
with? I read that it wants you to define as cache directory, and I would assume 
that thats just temporary storage and a performance issue not going to stop it 
from working correctly if requests go to different servers.
