The "setting up" part could be outsourced like for Zanata. I would be 
happy to help there. That is after some initialization done by the 
Shibboleth project, which is required by crowdin.com

I suspect their evaluation of these points would not be that strict. 
Certainly worth a try if people think this is worth a try.

What do the Shibboleth translators think? Is it worth setting up a new 
translation service as successor to Zanata, which is no longer 
maintained? Does your federation use the default Shibboleth translation 
files or distribute a localized translation package?
