openSUSE are experimenting with (and enhancing) some FOSS solution called 
Weblate on https://l10n.opensuse.org/

It is in pre-beta stage, but as far as web interfaces go, it's not looking too 
bad. And it works with git, PO and POT files etc. underneath the surface.

As long as it can coexist with "normal" VCS access, so you can check out files 
and work effectively offline etc., it might be nice to have something like that.
