Description
Currently it only allows sharing translations in the on-page AJAX way, i.e. only the string being translated can be shared. Is it possible to also share previously translated strings with the remote server?
A problem I can see is the difficulty of figuring out who translated those strings and giving credits.
Any ideas?
#1
There is no way to give credits there. We can only credit them to the user who imports. You can do this quite easily:
- export your whole site translation on the locale module interface, and import that .po file to l10n_server
- use potx module on the client site and export translations by module/theme, then import them to l10n_server
So there are already ways to export a .po file from the client site, and import a .po file to the server. Do you think we should make this much easier? I'd say this would only be needed on the first transitional period, and then it would not be used (much), so the current solutions look sufficient.

Hmmm, jredding proposed this idea on a discussion we had here earlier and I thought it was reasonable. However, I think your considerations are also valid. :)
