[Translators-l] a suggestion to migrate translations to the Translate extension

[Paul Selitskas]

I'll copy my comment to Siebrand (supposing @translatewiki is him) on this idea:
«the idea is good, but translating non-technical texts into other
languages is not obvious (i.e. message to message translations.)»

What do I mean? From language to language way of expressing phrases
may differ. In one language one may be expressed with one sentence, in
another it can be expressed with two sentences (if you follow style
rules for the language). In its turn, these sentences may be connected
with the next or the previous ones by implication. So you can't just
translate sentences somewhere near 'out of context'.

That's my opinion.
