Re: Freebsd website translation via Weblate

Hi Vladlen,

I like this initiative :)
In the past, we attempted to integrate the website into the platform
where we were performing the translations. However, the issue at that
time was the overwhelming number of small files that we had to manage,
which compromised system performance. dbaio@ can help us with his
memory about this attempt :)
Have you already converted the website files to .po files? How many
files do we need to import into Weblate to create this project?
