1) Depending on the app, no. It would be best to just use one VCS, I prefer 
svn or cvs but any of the others would do if there were good tutorials on how 
to use them.

If that would be the only way, then definitely not. I translate one PHP based 
app with a web interface and it's not nearly as efficient as using my 
favourite editors and a VCS.

However, a web interface might be one option, if those who want could still 
use the "traditional" way.
