I was talking about both. Implementing the aforementioned proposal will
allowing a "two ways" workflow (translatewiki as another possible frontend for
translations); adding support for UI messages and po-based documentation will
be then transparent for teams who don't want or don't need to use translatewiki.

No, it is not. See above.

Removing the offline translations and killing the current translation
workflow? No, this is not going to work. Personally, the "two ways" solution
is the only one that I can accept (i.e. translatewiki as interface for
translating files stored on a KDE VCS - currently SVN).
