transifex is easy to use, you just need to sign up and join the
Chinese(China) team, which is for Simplified Chinese translation.

I think the admin of the transifex project is very responsive for the
join request. For example my join request got replied within 24 hours.
But it's said to say, I didn't see any activity for the current
Chinese coordinator of the transifex project. And there's no reviewer.

opencc is great tool. But I don't think you can _just_ relay on it.
You still need review every words, and adjust the sentences in a
preferred way. For example, I usually use google translation when I
translate, but I won't just copy and paste. I think it's same for
opencc.


The current problem for Simplified Chinese translation is, we don't
have many people evolved in. I started the thread on python-cn mailing
list and the Telegram group, but there're very few people doing the
work.
