I agree that it would be best, but how do we avoid duplication of work?
I mean, we already have a few package translations at
<http://translationproject.org/domain/guix.html> (representing the only
package file currently in POTFILES), but obviously the translators were
not aware of what was being done on the www side (and vice versa.)

I’m fairly new to the translation process, and I just don’t know how we
can tell the TP volunteers to synchronize with the www volunteers.  What
would you recommend?

Thanks,
