Well, that seems to require the project to use gettext. But if we
convert Geeklog to gettext (which we probably should at some point
anyway since PHP arrays are quite outdated for translating), then there
will be better alternatives for online translating. For example, Michal
Cihar, one of phpMyAdmin developers, has just released Weblate[0].
Weblate supports translating multiple branches of a project
simultaneously and uses GIT as a storage backend. Mercurial is not
supported at this moment in time, but the app is opensource, and coding
hg support in should be quite straight-forward. Another alternative for
translating gettext-based projects is Pootle[1], but it's getting
buggier over time. Just a thought.
