Since gettext will be the interchange format, it will probably not be that
difficult to switch to a different service if we ever find we need to.

I appreciate your feedback on Zanata, and honestly we just need an i18n
champion to make it happen.  My apologies for such a long delay in responding
here, but Simon, if you're still willing to take the lead on i18n, I will be
happy to defer to your preferences.

+1 - if you're still willing, let's do this.  Core is very nearly ready to
start rc'ing for 3.1 so I think this is a great time to being building the
infrastructure for i18n.

+1
