Translators wanted!

[Aric Stewart]

We would love to do this and it is being explored.

The core issue is the ability to directly connect each translation to 
the translator. None of the platforms we have looked at have this 
functionality.

If i have more time I can try to explore the pootle code as I  have at 
least passing familiarity with it... But out of the box it does not do 
what we need.
