The translation project is already hosted outside the guix project, so I don't 
see any issue if we're not able to package it just yet.

hosted.weblate.org has some tracking in place (a matomo instance hosted by the 
weblate author). I wouldn't like to expose our users to it. Fedora has a 
weblate instance open to any free software project with no tracking, so I was 
suggesting using it instead.
