--- Comment #2 from Ding-Yi Chen <dchen at redhat.com> ---
I am not sure it is a good idea to change the project-type. Consider following
use case:

A project maintainer working on a gettext project, he speaks both English and
Mandarin (zh-CN) and translate the zh-CN himself.

1. He go to the locale zh-CN and start translating.
2. He need to catch a bus 15 minutes later so he need offline translation
3. He download the offline zanata.xml on zh-CN page, and do some translation on
the bus.
*4. He build the project and put the file he translated to the source tree, he
found that he need to change filename to make the change apply.
5. On next day, he back to office and push he translation.
*6. Thinking zanata.xml is already in the local hard disk, he pull the
translation from server and found that he need to rename dozens of translation
files to apply the translations.

Step 4 and 6 are more likely to cause confusion.

If you do need to change project-type, please make the filename different (e.g.
zanata-offline.xml), as they do contain different content.

Moreover, if both zanata.xml and zanata-download.xml exist, client need to
"ask" user whether he need to submit as a translator or a project maintainer.
