Hey folks,
Two things.
a) First, passing along this from my colleague Elena, a platform that could hopefully be of interest: Wikimedia Space https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/ is a joint discussion/blog prototype https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/introducing-wikimedia-space-a-platform-for-movement-news-and-conversations/142 aimed at facilitating collaboration across the movement. The admins have set up a Translation discussion category https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/translation on the discussion board, and are welcoming translators to come post about things relevant to our work.
The platform is still in prototype phase, so there's plenty of room for translators to test and determine how to best configure Space for your needs. Feel free to poke around the Space how-to https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/about-wikimedia-space/forum-how-to subcategory, which contains posts about features already available and how to use them, and the Space feature requests subcategory https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/about-wikimedia-space/space-feature-requests is where Wikimedians are discussing additional features and tools that could be added.
(The discussion board is run on the Discourse software, and has a number of facilitation tools (you can reply to posts, like posts, easily link to different forms of multimedia, mark questions as resolved, open new discussion topics, tag topics, configure notifications to follow certain tags and so on). There are also some other tools that have been missing, including centralized map https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/events/l/map and calendar https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/c/events/l/calendar features, where folks have already started uploading their events. Signing up is fairly straightforward https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/how-to-join-wikimedia-space/113.)
b) Second, this is sort of for you: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Johan_(WMF)/On_gratitude_and_love

a) Before I say that it's cool -- where is this thing being localised? ;)

https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/ for Discourse in general. For the parts specifically related to the theme, Elena wrote this elsewhere: "Our next step is to add localizable strings to our theme components to make the UI smoother across languages". ( https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/building-a-multilingual-space-part-i/514 )

Mutual, as always.

I hope no proprietary software will be used for that.
