Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Weblate instance for testing purposes

Very first impression is "Not sure I trust them to do the job properly". 
They list ga-IE as Irish (fine) but gd-GB as "Gaelic" rather than the 
much clearer "Scots Gaelic" or "Scottish Gaelic". Given the huge amount 
of confusion people have over Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic and Scots 
Gaelic, that suggests a lack of thought/research when language issues 
are concerned. We're going to have endless people ... ok not endless, a 
number of people signing up for the wrong language. Not fun for any 
locale manager either way.

I may have missed this but what's wrong with Pootle? It has worked for a 
long time? If you asked me to name ONE thing I'd like where I'd like to 
see major change, it would be to unpick Source Locale from en-US so that 
every time en-US plays with caps or typos, it doesn't affect all other 
locales. Moving to a new tool, however sexy their pitch, will just mean 
an entirely new set of headaches instead of the old set of headaches in 
my experience and I have accounts on most of them. Doesn't matter if 
it's Crowdin, Poole, Pontoon, DDG, WordPress, Launchpad etc etc, they 
all drive you nuts as a translator at some level.
