I never used transifex. But when I'm hearing now, that a translator needs
to download the *.po files, this seems to be a suggestion. But for myself I
don't care that much whether it's only editing or downloading at all. I'm
mostly using a source code/version control system to manage translations.

But for translators it would get more easy to translate things, which also
lowers the barrier of getting new translators. Currently, a translator IMHO
needs also much technical knowledge, not just knowing 2+ languages.

I am definiately. More translators give the possibility, that texts get
re-read more often or corrected and fresh new translation ideas come in as
well.
