Hi,
  I totally agree with Alexandre. I have very negative experience with similar collaborative translation tools, but I understand that they are useful for others.
  In my opinion, unless there is a person in charge of quality control, the translations of large projects, like Inkscape is, quickly get out of hand and turn into a incoherent mashup of strings.

  I have recently requested and started a translation on Transifex for a WordPress plugin that was already being managed there and I think it can be used side by side with the current translation process, as long as the translators take care of exporting their po files and send them to the corresponding list.
  I see no difference with using poedit, gtranslator, kbabel, transifex or pootle as long as the po files are submitted as always.

  Just my 2 cents,

  Cheers,

Exactly, that is why I suggest you to own it and not just to join it. Because I'm not an expert in Transifex so you can manage it better than me.

By the way, I translate on Launchpad from time to time, and I believe there is kinda user levels. but I'm not sure about Transifex.
