[Qt-l10n] [Development] Using Transifex for handling Qt localization?

[Sergey Belyashov]

Hi
As I understand, dusscussion is about code translation & reviewing tool.
Because currently it is impossible to adequately review chnages in
translations (linguist is required to see full context).
Best regards,
Sergey Belyashov
