I agree, and this is what I was alluding to in my previous emails - and in some
cases the work is not only being duplicated, but triplicated --- www, TP, and
independently by the packages themselves.

     And www translators will
     not, in general, be technically up to using TP.  

That, I find hard to believe.  TP requires no technical ability, beyond editing
the po files (either using a tool or a normal editor) and sending emails.  It is
perhaps true that the TP robot is somewhat cumbersome - a web interface to 
compilment the current email interface might be a good idea.  But like you say,
this will require cooperation between TP and whoever.  Might this not be a good
opportunity to work together for a solution .... ?
