Hello,
>From our end, I think Transifex may be easier. Our language specialists
change, and they often have limited technical background. With Transifex,
we can point them to the website have have them write in the lines
directly. Otherwise it has to go through me to input to Git, and with my
lack of knowledge of Arabic and Farsi, there is a higher probability of
input error.
Speaking of which, I went through and added our Farsi translations to the
USB-installer. It would be great if a Farsi speaker could double check
these. I can also send out the excel spreadsheet that we've created with
the different translations, if that would be helpful to other translators
(Russian, Arabic, and Farsi).
Best,
Eric
