Another related point about this release.  I think we should switch
back to Transifex (from Zanata currently).

The obvious reason is that Transifex has a good community who actually
provided plentiful translations, at least for the simple strings (no
one translates the long manual page paragraphs, but I wasn't expecting
that).  Zanata, well, nothing much really.

Also the Zanata client tools suck.

We could do this either before or after the 1.34 release (or not at
all).

Rich.
