Moving translations from Transifex to Weblate

I fear I’ve been unduely negative here. Centralized platforms with significant switching costs are social traps, so they tend towards wielding monopoly power over users. This goes for social media too (including Bluesky, which has intrinsically centralized components).

I do strongly support projects and contributors getting and staying free of such monopolies, using open standards and democratic platform governance. I also acknowledge the significant switching costs, and the way they tend to increase over time.

Maybe we could do Git and translations over Deltachat? This might also make it easier for those under censorship to contribute their coding and language skills. There are already e-mail Git interfaces (and Weblate is Git-based, tho I don’t think Transifex is). So doing this via a bot seems possible. DC is properly decentralized, so this might be a more productive way to use effort.
