Comparison
wortwerk vs. Weblate
Weblate is open-source and git-native as well: it commits translations directly into repositories and can be self-hosted. If you want to run the software yourself, Weblate is a great choice. wortwerk is a hosted service with a simpler setup and a more focused editor.
