Instead of making yet another silly tool, people should rather focus on existing systems (transifex/launchpad). Practically every other projects moved away from the tickets, manually uploading, pull requests system a long time ago to these. it's time xbmc do it too, but not in the form of yet another tool..

I was also thinking of launchpad earlier, but the updating process of Enlish and back the translated strings would be a PITA and all up to xbmc devs and plugin devs to handle without the interaction, notice, help etc from the translator itself. That is not so a good way in my opinion.
That is why at this point I agree that a web based translation tool with automated pull push functionality looks quite good as it also helps xbmc devs life. And extjs seems powerful enough to handle it gui-wise.

Well, transifex happens to be completely open source and proven. you can host it at xbmc.org if you want. I'm just saying it might be good idea to look into it before reinventing transifex. I know some guy once said he would look into creating a xml plugin for it in some thread a while ago, but the thread just died..
