As I don't even see any strings (see my previous messages), I can of course
also not translate (or correct) any of them.

In several ways, yes:

1) At least FF doesn't support group policies (i.e. Microsoft's Group
Policy Management Console, GPMC), unless that should have changed recently,
which I'd not be aware of. Not sure about Chrome and others, but I doubt
that they'll support it.

2) I'm tied to "this version of IE" (IE8) in so far as I'm the (only?) one
who is deliberately testing this browser version with Roundcube and
reporting any issues. Apparently no one of the developers is doing this
himself.

The history of 2) is that after release of Roundcube 0.8.1 in August 2012,
all of a sudden it was almost unusable with IE8: A single click on any mail
(or any other link within Rouncube such as "Settings") made Roundcube
disappear completely (well, it's window was "just" thrown to the background,
which a standard user may not even realize).

So I agreed with Thomas to act as a sort of IE8 tester. As long as
Roundcube is supporting it, of course.

I think I posted that to this list already quite some time ago.

I believe there is no way to install (and run) IE8 and IE9/10 side-by-side.

Well... Honestly, I don't like websites too much which do only support the
very latest version of (a) specific browser(s), and want to force me to
install even more software on my machine than really needed - even less when
not giving any warning (different to GitHub). Especially tech oriented
websites such as Transifex which are meant to act as a sort of programming
tool, should show some more sense for downwards compatibility as the fancy
ones, IMO.

So I would recommend to fix the website. ;)

Also that they let me use an Avatar through gravatar.com only, does not
make this site too sympathic to me. Well, so I won't use an Avatar, but I'm
asking myself why these Transifex folks are going this way. Makes me
suspicious.

I'll probably try to loan an iPad from somewhere and do the
translations/corrections from there, if Safari should be compatible with
Transifex...
