It would be also useful (and needed in fact) to hear from other AMOS users and language pack maintainers. Everybody, if you find a minute, please feel encouraged to go and try Weblate at https://hosted.weblate.org/ and share your impressions / experience here. Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of things I like about it:

  • it's an open source project - open source projects should use open source software if available
  • interesting workflows possible, but also what we are used to
  • contributions processed per string rather then a lot of strings in one go - this is IMHO a current problem on AMOS, where it is possible to create contributions too large to be nice to process.
  • I like the suggestions and comments-feature
  • Using a secondary languages as an added source language. A lot of our translators speaking better French, Spanish or Russian then English will like that a lot! It's a frequently asked feature.
  • It could do Moodlenet-translation if there is interest from that team to move to an open source translation interface

I couldn't find anything, apart from a lot of work to move and refactore things, that speaks against weblate.
