Re: Is there a translation platform for the Emacs manual

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Did you stop using Transifex ?

As I mentionned earlier on Twitter, I'm using OmegaT (GPL/java) and the April 
(gitea) forge (April is a French association that promotes free software).

https://forge.chapril.org/brandelune/documentation_emacs

I have no official confirmation yet, but I proposed to make a short 
presentation about that project at the soon to come EmacsConf.
