In the context of this discussion a "true" loco is a team based on a
geographic area (such as a country or state). A "false" loco in this
context might be a translation team, which includes people from around
the world, rather than one geographic region

Whilst it's possible that there is some overlap (such as the UK LoCo
Team and EN-GB translation team) we (LoCo Council) see the two as
separate groups. Translation teams tend to be singularly focussed on
translation. LoCo teams tend (in general) to be advocacy/support
groups who may also do translation.

Hope that makes things clear.
