And don't lock it for days. Keep time as short as possible

My personal opinion is that the best, is if everything stays on the servers of Transifex.

Everything stays in sync, you can use the translation memory AND language files don't get locked just because someone is locally editing the file and not ready with it in one session, so he keeps locking the translations maybe for days, until he uploads it back.

That is not so polite with the rest of the translations group. That is how I see it.

And there is the threat, that some poor text editors break the language file (encoding, lineending, wordwrap, etc.)

So I'd really like to ask everyone that, IF possible, please stay on Transifex with translations.

Thanks, cheers, thanks everyone for contributing !
