It is just one file - I don't know whether a sub project would make
things harder or easier. One thing to keep in mind is that the releases
are asynchronous.

There is no good interface for translating WordPress. That's one of the
major complaints about WordPress. Right now I have given translators
accounts on my server and that seems to work well.

I'll follow your guidance on that.

It's just one file; if you clone the subsurface-companion git tree
you'll see res/values/strings.xml and the translations are in
res/values-XX/strings.xml with XX being the two letter language code
(strangely russian is under ro and not ru)
