Hi,

I have one thoing I would like to mention.

Having .tx/config file in openstack-manuals repository is useful for
translators who
generate translated version of documents. If we remove .tx/config from
the repository,
such translators needs to check the transifex repository and create
.tx/config manually.
It is not convenient. We can have .tx/config in the documentation I18N page, but
it requires some additional steps every time to prepare new git clone.
The merit to have .tx/config in the repo helps us keep .tx/config up-to-date and
we can share it. Translators can maintain .tx/config privately but
there is no place to share it.

Though transifex configruation file .tx/config is not related and I understand
such translators is very limited, it is worth considered.
Even if we can get the command line example from openstack-infra/config,
it doesn't make sense because transifex config and jenkins script are
not related.

I don't have a strong opinion on it, but I don't feel it comfortable.
If it is remove, I will just fork openstack-manuals repository to have
.tx/config
and sync it with the upstream by cron.

Thanks,
Akihiro
