Utilize Transifex translation management platform for NSIS localization?
I read through the web pages www.transifex.net/help/faq and
www.transifex.net/help/developer/sourceforge

It sounds like a good idea to me. I wonder if anyone has already used that service.

However Transifex use gettext PO and POT files in contrast to NLF and NSH in NSIS.

In SCons (tool for building NSIS) the gettext Python module could be used to generate
NLF and NSH files from the PO and POT files.

What's your view on this?

The newer version of Transifex supports more file formats and allows the creation of custom importers. It also supports pushing your source strings over an API, so supporting NLF/NSH could prove easy enough.

Let me know if I can help in any way! Feel free to drop by #transifex on IRC/Freenode for any Qs as well!

Thanks a lot for the helpful information.
