Hi Sajolida,

I will work on getting this resource online today and should have it
available for translation by tomorrow at the latest.

To answer your second question, the main things I can do that you cannot
is reorganize teams, add resources, add people to teams and accept new
languages. I can also do the expected things like reconfigure details
about the hub.

The main things that would be lost switching to your own hub would be
the current community of translators working on Tor Project strings, as
well as git on the Tor Project side for storing strings.

Please let me know if I can offer any further support here. My
availability has dramatically increased as I have recently become a full
time employee of the Tor Project, so translation tasks are being handled
much faster.
