Folks,

What about researching Launchpad to manage translations of OSGeo 
projects and documents?

https://translations.launchpad.net/

Many projects use it to translate both software and docs.
I've used Launchpad to help translating Ubuntu to Polish and I have
very good impressions.

One big advantage I see is that Launchpad is available and 
user-friendly, so and we don't have to spend time on inventing our own 
technology process.

Here is some overview about how translations work on Launchpad:
