Hi Stefano,

You are right (for italian), you probably have a fine working workflow.
But other languages only have 1 (sometimes inactive) coordinator, and
people are willing to translate but are not accepted. That is why I
think 2 or 3 coordinators are a good thing to have. Also we have
coordinators sometimes which want to translate 'too strict', and they do
not accept other translators. And other issues...

So what about rewriting (why do we have 2 places anyway?):
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/translate.html
and
https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/
to make the current Italian workflow the 'preferred' one?

Richard
