That doesn't seem to be possible at the moment. So there could not be
different settings for Tor and Tails. That would be a blocker.

I'm still not sure whether this is possible.

Tor is not a paying customer of Transifex, so whatever they do we could
also do ourselves and on our own. So if we want to be a bit more
autonomous regarding configuration, team management, etc. we could have
our own Transifex project with the same features as they do.
A drawback would be to stop being in the same project as Tor, and thus
have probably less people seeing our files, and tempted to contribute.
