Well, it is nice to have 'official' translations projects - after many years of useless messages to start such a project.
That was the reason I have created 2 years ago that project, added a few weeks ago the v.2 branch.
If Daniel is using the crowdin-API to pull translations into the shops - good idea.
But only if there would be many languages and translated strings ...
I have no problem to close 'my' project if the users prefer the new project.
I would suggest, that Daniel and/or James is inviting translators and proofreaders to bring that project to a higher level than it as currently.
What I do not want is that every translator is wasting his time!
Just let me know what you are thinking.
