Do you mean, translations of user-facing interfaces? Or all code
documentation? Or OONI specification? Or OONI debug log messages?

We have a lot of translation tasks. Which should take priority?

I don't think I understand. What about using gettext and babel? You can
extract strings from python source and templates directly, and these tools
integrate with transifex.
