All of them have Transifex accounts (50+ people!)

Engineers:
- Checking in new string and extracting translated strings seamless
Project Manager:
- Manage projects, resources, translation workflow, budget in one central location
- No need for licences, unlimited amount of users

Translators:
- Robust translation UI with solid TM, concordance and glossary capabilities
- String level notes, screenshots and communication channels
