Being a team of one so far, I have to refrain from using it for Albanian 
(sq) locale.
IMO it'd be better to have that as an option of Transifex in the hand of 
locale coordinator. Not just for team with only one member, but for 
other future situations, when a team of 2, or 3, or more, shrinks for a 
certain amount of time. It will have to communicate back and forth with 
you just for toggling the "review mode".

Cheers,
Besnik




The downside of this change is the need for your team to mark as
