The recording of my talk is now available:

Thanks to those who came out.

The rest of the track is also worth watching if you are interested in 
this space.

I learned a lot that weekend from the feedback during and after the talk 
and the other sessions.  Mostly, it seems other projects (e.g., KDE, 
GNOME, Fedora) are using essentially the same workflow as we do, of 
course on a larger scale and with a bit more eye candy, but technically 
very similar.

I learned about Weblate, which is a web application that manages the 
translation processes, similar to Crowdin that some are already using. 
We could look into that.

I heard that there is some work on message formats in the ICU project, 
so in the long run this could replace Gettext.

To be clear, I don't plan to do any major infrastructure work before the 
PG 16 release (but that shouldn't stop anyone else from trying), but I 
might look into those in the future.
