The first two arguments are very compelling to me.

The counter-argument, I don’t know; in practice, it seems that Guix
translators are mostly involved with Guix, no?

I don’t know Weblate but if it works for you translators and doesn’t
require us maintainers (well, me!) to open a JS-enabled browser and
click through, I’m all for it.  :-)

BTW, in the meantime, would you feel like uploading a tarball to the TP
so we can give translators some time to start updating everything?

Thanks,
