 +  * for users registered with Transifex: it's easy to find all available translations of a plugin and download one
  
 +Disadvantages
 +  * if language files are only stored on Transifex (until they are included in the plugin), a user needs to register with Transifex to download them
 +
 +Problems:
 +  * Transifex does not show the technical key for the translation,​ although this can convey important information:​ e.g. if you have 2 items //TAB_XXX// and //​TITLE_XXX//​ which are the same in english, but should be different in another language because the translation is rather long and thus should be shortened for the tab.
 +  * When downloading,​ Transifex replaces non-translated items with the source language text - the //​Translate//​ plugin uses a hack to recognize this
