Maybe you are thinking translation is a one-step process. It isn't. You can't do it all at once. You will make mistakes. You need to test it and tweak it to make it look right <i>before</i> you submit it. Developers will update or add to the English text, thus requiring a translation update.

|

Having translators use a source control system directly provides authentication and accountablility - we know who is doing what, and we can track changes, and revert them if necessary.
