Hi Yaron,

I've joined Zanata as moini, and already had a little look around. It's really awfully slow (on their servers, don't know what it would be like on a local machine)! I was surprised to see they need to use alicdn... (for their alpha editor). UI is a bit non-intuitive.

But I'd still like to see what settings one can make. Can you add me so I can look around?

As for weblate, I've had a closer look at their hosted version, and asked for explanations of what hosting means.

Michal, the author, explained to me that, currently, for the hosted version, there is no admin access to the project at all, so I doubt it would be something we could use for our various translation files, branches, settings... and our translators who would like to have a little more control over what gets in and what doesn't. Locally, the amount of options is overwhelming, I still need some time to look into it.

As we now have the help of a person who might be willing to help us set these things up (someone who does ansible and can make it work) plus our own servers, self-hosting appears to be an option that is within reach...

Don't know what others think at all, I haven't gotten any feedback about it yet.

Kind Regards, Maren

- Aha, that sounds interesting. Yes, it would be cool if I could take a
look.

Join and give me your username, I'll add you to it.

Is there any git integration planned? I see there's a script for it in
their official repos:
https://github.com/zanata/repo-sync

Not sure it's the best implementation but we can include it in the git repo and it'll probably work for us.

Do you know what would be needed to make it work, and what it would
do?...

I'm not really sure but I can contact the engineers.

As you've seen both Weblate and Zanata, what would you say, how do they
compare feature-wise?

Weblate is still much better :)

We should probably try and see if there's a way to make it look more appealing to you because the hosted solution is very good.
