I am good on moving to a wiki, as I indicated because I started this
thread.

The issue with PO is that translators should be able to pull the
_changed_ text and translate just that. Not sure if the wiki allows
that but the PO system does.

Now, we don't have any non-English translations of the developer's FAQ,
so that isn't an issue yet, but the main FAQ does have translators.
