IMHO, current Tx instance is just a billboard.

You can translate anything on Tx, fix the mistakes, enhance the translation. But if you do not commit it to SVN in time, all your changes will be overwritten during the next SVN import. And SVN has all old Mandriva translations after all.

Thus, no team => old SVN translations => no sense to import to Tx. And no sense to import to Tx if you do not want to use Lotte (which is broken in Tx 1.x+).

Just my 5 cents.
