This has come up before on the mailing list.  We talked about moving
to translationsproject.org but decided against it at that time as
the current pool of translators for Git felt the dictionary involved
was too technical (and too Git specific) for the run-of-the-mill
translators who work through translationsproject.org.  At least some
knowledge of Git is required to get a good translation, and we cannot
except all translators to have that.

So translation work is still here, on this mailing list.
