It's really simple from a translator's point of view. You just need to create an account and start translating via a web interface.

I'm a translator of various projects from almost five years and I can only see positive aspects in using gettext as infrastructure and poedit at translation level, over others tools.

I don't know deeply Drupal but I've experimented a little with Joomla and I agree with you. CMS fits well for a blog-like website. In a project like hugin the already set-up SCM website do the works well. > OK, [0] is for you. Strongly inspired by your [1].

I've experimented a bit and made some modifications to the banner behavior and appearance. [2] If there are no comments/modifications I can apply the changes in the nd folder to the main website.
