Transifex is a great tool to have many people translate your stuff, and
so it seems to be quite easy to use. And that's great.
On the other hand, translating our website on Transifex would be a
nightmare. It has 230 PO files, always changing, etc. And working
directly in Git is probably much more efficient for both the translators
and us when used to those tools.
That's why we tried to find a mixed solution that allows some files to
be translated on Transifex and some files to be translated in Git only.
