Sorry for being absent last 2 weeks, but removing teeth (a thing which i should do ages ago, all of them).
Preparing Swedish translation right now... till i'm not on painkillers...
Using TX client will work maybe in 2.6/2.7 of XOOPS, when files as amount are downed to 2 max. Eg. /language/*.PHP - into one English.php. Install/language/English.php (like in XOOSLA (hopefully is not banned yet). Modules/module-name/language/admin.php and site.php, and/or if XOOPS adopt J! INI files, since POTs are double work. In that way could work.
Currently applies fine for J! language files (except core), Drupal .POT files, bcz you have to fetch one file per module, 1 for the core as whole (no matter, is it installation, administration or front-end part).
J! files looks like for extensions:
com_extension-name.ini - main file
com_extension-name.sys.ini - administration shortcuts - eg, create categories, topics, files etc. depend on the extension. Here can be:
mod_module-name.ini/php
mod_module-name-admin.ini/php
core files for the CMS looks in the same way, just they're thousands - per part of the cms, and to be avoided duplicated file names, should be used brackets or translators to separate them in to two projects.
Drupal have one file only (including all modules coming with the distribution), once is installed, everyone can use the build-in translation tool which is awfully done, or to extract English language as something.pot and to upload it there.
While we have more then one admin.php - TX client will download them as mess, and someone have to rename. So better, click and download. 2.5 core is still smaller, compared to 2.0.18.
Now every module-name-language, starts with name of the module in brackets bcz TX categories are.... pseudo tags.
sv_SE -
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtlt/files/XOOPS/sv_SE/?most translations are still on 99%
To sv_SE translation team, manually u should add, if u want it full:
/language/xoopsdhtmleditor.php - or something like that which contains several multiple PHP arrays, still not supported by TX
/install/finish and welcome.php - they're not XOOPS PHP Define files
/per-directory/mail_templates - those should be moved to SQL with option to be changed from core/module
/per-directory/help - which should be removed from distribution and linked to help.xoops.org or wiki.xoops.org
/xoops-lib/protector - protector files are non-XOOPS PHP define files.
What's this [*/] crap added to end of my posts.... NVM.
For those planing to use old translations done for XOOPS prior 2.5.5 and TX, all language files must be encoded to UTF-8 (can be done easy with NotePad +) - Open all, convert all to UTF-8 (not UTF-8 without BOM), save all.
For those planing to loose time with Chronolabs modules on
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/xoops-mods-i18n/ - they're probably will be removed, since they're maintainer not pay any attention to the discovered bugs with ported modules such as MyAlbum-P by GiJoe or/and any old 2.0.x module not converted by Mamba and tagged Blue-Move. Just need confirmation from someone from devs, Mamba and they will gone.

you mean you can not download the whole language files as a tar ball with their names?
it is a weak point of transifex.
Nope and even if such option is added in future, will not apply to current core.
Why? Described above.

6.4 MB translation ?
This folder should be renamed to Localized Distributions, not 2.5.x translations....
