Yes, we need help. Speaking for pt_BR and possibly other languages.

A single review of a .po file is stuck [1].

And we have PR's stuck for years with translations, this discourages any new
contributor.

What we are trying to do is to work with po files through Zanata, like pfSense
did.

This is just a test for who is interested:
https://translate.zanata.org/iteration/view/FreeBSD-pt_BR/test/documents?dswid=7254

There are people willing to help in the translation and this way they won't
need to deal with svn or to install any tool.

We just need to close a process about this and I'm having a good perspective
about Zanata.

We could even insert a stage in the translation process where FreeBSD members
need to check/approve the translations there. [2]
