I kind of agree with that, but some teams, as the french one and the
brasilian portuguese one are mainly/exclusively working with git, and
are strong enough not to need additional translators for now (correct
me if I'm wrong).

Great if people want to start/continue translating using Transifex,
especially if there's no team using Git, for Farsi/Arabic/Russian for
example. The main issue is how to deal with people translating to the
same language if some are using Transifex, and some others use Git. I
propose that each existing team decide which tool to use for a specific
language, and make it clear - on tails website / transifex ? - so no
one does work that won't be used/reviewed or work that's been already
done.

This could be add to matsa's daft ?

Cheers.
