We have many African languages who also have weak terminology that 
benefit from using Pootle.

The difference is that they include their terminology in the terminology 
project on Pootle.  You can do that also, in which case people giving 
suggestions and translations are guided by the teams terminology lists.

I'd say Pootle in that case is a better way to localise since the 
terminology is central and available to everyone.  I'm not trying to 
convince you to change anything, I just think that that specific 
criticism on Pootle is not well informed.
