And this is really great news! Thanks for making that usable.

But - there is a little problem. Only part of translated files are 
fetched. (Tested on DAM)

If I check in typo3temp/dam-l10n-pl.zip
and in typo3conf/l10n/pl/dam/ there is no all translated files.

For example at translation server there is:
typo3conf/l10n/pl/dam/mod_file/pl.locallang_mod.xml

but the file does not exist after I fetch the translation for DAM.
There is no "mod_file" folder at all.

Can someone confirm that? (DAM 1.0.11 from TER)

It is not so clear here so I'll ask. Will the normal people have ability 
to send translation of extension directly to translators review? Without 
bothering of extension author?

Great news but next task on you shoulders. I really appreciate your work.

Can I help you somehow?
