Well, it's not a web interface for translating, currently, just for kee= ping=20 track on what needs to be translated by whom (and for language teams to= find=20 what to translate).

Only when you translate FSF software for which you need to send one of = the=20 letters that claim that you are handing over copyright to the FSF.
