Hmm, since Beta3 is out might be time to start seriously considering a

migration? I think we should migrate to Weblate, since A) they offered to
help us migrate and B) it's a solid and trusted platform.

In the description of this ticket I put what I think are the

requirements (online translation, offline translation, downloads for on
the fly). I wonder to what extend this tool will fulfill those
requirements.

Also note that this is not a priority for me before R1, but feel free to

start doing some of the ground work to engage the translator community to
find out what their requirements are.

I had a look at those requirements, and researched whether Weblate
fulfills these or not:
* Online translation
* Offline translation
* Export of the result - perhaps even user friendly so that it can be
tested on the fly

Weblate is an online translation tool and supports exporting and importing
translations too. Translation files can be downloaded for offline editing:

There's a full list of features provided by Weblate here:
