Actually the online feature is perfect for non-tech translators or 
opportunistic translators because of launchpad's ability to pull 
strings from other modules and propose them (*very* useful to 
build a common language - to which Etoys is particularly 
sensible) I think it should not be ditched...

Cheers,
Xavier


PS: Etoys has been pulled out of fedora's site... so we are 
effectivley left only with launchpad as an option?
