The web interface is so you the transactions can be worked on without having to download anything.

The translation files just like the other source files need to be compiled for use in Sigil itself. Very few people actually compile the files themselves when translating. If you really want to do so then you need the tools to compile the transaction source files.

Translations form the web interface are downloaded and put into the source tree before each release.
