I can clone those repos somewhere locally, but is there any way to find suggestion from existing translations? <a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/l10n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>l10n</span></a> <a href="https://toots.dgplug.org/tags/localization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>localization</span></a></p>
