Hi Cristiano, We have been using Transifex in the past couple of years as a translation platform for InaSAFE documentation, as Kate mentioned previously. In our experience we found several problems with how it was not suitable to translate long text or paragraph since it was splitted into several part of text strings. Therefore when several people translate/validate these text strings they would lose the context of the whole paragraph, and translate only in the context of those strings. In result, made it a bit awkward to read.
We are currently planning to change into something similar/same with LearnOSM translation workflow, since a translator able to read the whole paragraph and translate based on that context.
