Yeah, I have some ideas for this one including a translation queue of some sort that would make it easy for people to contribute short translations without having to know anything about the underlying mechanisms. It would be nice. I saw something similar at https://services.google.com/tc/Welcome.html and it can be used pretty well.
Oh yeh! Some years ago (around 5/6) I've participated in Google's translation program and their interface is really good and simple. It has just a couple of text boxes in each you can enter the text. Then all the work of validating and assigning work is done at the server. The user just needs a browser. This would be the perfect tool even for phpdoc stuff, but I'm currently lacking free time to work on it.
That could even be used for user notes if it worked well. Let me think about it for a bit. I am against translating or even contributing user notes in other languages. In my eyes, user notes are of two kind:
We currently don't even moderate (aka delete and incorporate the usefull notes) the English notes, so having other languages will only fill our work queues. Nuno
