i see that the titles are now available in Transifex under the website
project. Subsurface project still contains the older version of the about
page. I am assuming we are moving our efforts under the website part.

One problem that would be nice to be changed is that currently untranslated
pages end up with English texts in the foreign language resulting in
transifex claiming all strings to be translated. Would be great if these
were empty in Transifex side.

I am also not certain how well this is going to work when pages get
updated. I.e. previously I have commented that it should be easy to see
what is falling out of sync on Transifex, but currently I am unsure if this
is true or not. But we will know more when the prototyping continues.
