Cheers! I'll continue work on Pootle then.
As for Transifex, it is brilliant from an end-user point-of-view. Easily outclasses every other product in that area. I've used it to translater primarily Vidalia, but some other smaller open source software projects too, and can attest to its excellence as a translation interface. Even better than editing in Virtaal, the greatest of all desktop translation clients.
It is completely free and open source and the platform's "public instance" is at
https://www.transifex.com/. The code and a bunch of links that might interest you are at the company's
gitHub page. It's made by the same person that made Status.net, and it follows a similar model.
He offers installation and support for a fee though you can do it yourself with some difficulty. Upgrades, as I understand it, are liable to make the instance go faulty, which has happened recently for the Xfce Desktop project (which hosts its own instance).
You should look into it. Free and open source, and great from an end-user point of view. It's just that I heard that it syncs with version control, but I'm not much interested in those details.
Thanks for the instructions and your sustained high level of support. Will do.
