I've been quite happy with https://crowdin.com/ , which handles ApplicationResources.properties very well, but isn't ideal for the .xml translations. It's free for open source projects. The problem with the .xml files is that apart from the translatable content, which it handles well, it tries to commit the exact same XML markup as in the "source" file, which doesn't really work for XWiki. As a workaround, I just cat|sed the contents of the XML files and upload it as a non-github-tracked resource. The alternative is to rebase-interactive each pull request it creates to discard the commits that try to re-format the XML files, but that gets tedious after a while. > Also, I think that it has already been discussed, either on > https://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=weblate or on IRC, but being able > to use xwiki.org as an identity provider on our translation platform > would be neat, so it could be something to look for in the possible > solutions. > >> As you may already know, we have thought about replacing the l10n platform >> which is becoming too slow.
