Can you explain what it's for? I'm familiar with YAML but I have no idea what "translate apps & sites" means.

Do you mean "translate" as in i18n? What kind of files would I be uploading?

I believe it's Rails translation files which looked like this:

en.yml: https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/blob/d14fe4e0a1c54d2...

fr.yml: https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/blob/d14fe4e0a1c54d2...

In this case, I understand the need of the editor because managing large translation files by hand is a very time consuming task and overall painful experience. From going back and forth between trying to match translation files key-by-key (nope, pluralization rules differ from languages to languages) or trying to find the correct key to edit, to fixing merge conflicts.

So Rails doesn't use .po files?

There are gettext gem available, but by default Rails ship with the YAML translation thing.
