Subsurface translations move to transifex

[Dirk Hohndel]

This is especially for all the volunteers that do translations...

With Kévin's help we have set up a project at Transifex and I'd love for
people to play with this and let us know if this will work for
maintaining and coordinating our translations.

Could all of you create an account there and check out their user
interface and ask questions now (instead of "during the last three days
before the next release")?

Thanks
