Website translations [was Re: 4.8.1 has been released]

[Peter Zaal]

Hi.

I have not actually looked at the website pages in GitHub, but out of
curiosity, did you ever think about, or considered using Transifex for the
translations of the website pages? Or would this now be too late or just
not fit that?
I have been contributing to the (Dutch) translations just recently, and I
find Transifex very easy and convenient to use. I am not comfortable with
GitHub and using one system for code, being GitHub, and one system for
translations, being Transifex, would make sense to me. That might also be
easier for people to contribute and keep up to date.
