Hi Cristiano,
We have been using Transifex in the past couple of years as a translation
platform for InaSAFE documentation, as Kate mentioned previously. In our
experience we found several problems with how it was not suitable to
translate long text or paragraph since it was splitted into several part of
text strings. Therefore when several people translate/validate these text
strings they would lose the context of the whole paragraph, and translate
only in the context of those strings. In result, made it a bit awkward to
read.
We are currently planning to change into something similar/same with
LearnOSM translation workflow, since a translator able to read the whole
paragraph and translate based on that context.
Best,
