[Qgis-community-team] QGIS documentation translation best-practices

[Yves Jacolin]

Hello,

I am currently using transifex for all translation project (MapServer, PostGIS 
and QGIS).

As Matteao explain you can download po files from transifex but I have never 
user transifex this way.

Regards,

Y.
