We could have both, I think?  After a new news entry, directly update 
the .po in the Guix repo, then after the patch is sent to guix-patches@ 
other people can open their favourite .po editor and add translations 
for their language and send that. No need to wait for Weblate, though 
late contributors can still translate with Weblate.
