I'm not in favour a web UI and I really prefer working with po and po editor 
like kbabel.
Working with po allow us to produce diff between old and new translation and 
so, we can discuss on the french mailing list about the changes.

Unfortunately, the current system doesn't make easy the translation 
management.
I suggest:
- each po file has an identified maintener
- every maintener can hold several po files
- a maintener HAS to be mailed when the file he manages is changed

Alain
