Indeed. Thank you for affirming this Weblate feature would be missed; we really would need to improve offline PO editors to do better. >> Do we all agree we want to move? >> >> Cc other frequent Weblate translators Andrei Șova, F.

Julien reset my mind on moving to the opinion that moving away from Codeberg Weblate is not realistic with our resources. When momentum is strong, we should first improve PO editors or add a Weblate service to Guix or so. Regards, Florian
