Open Source Project Localization Platform
By admin on Dec 30, 2008 in open source
Transifex is a highly scalable localization platform with a focus on integrating well with the existing workflow of both translators and developers.
It aims in making it dead-simple for content providers to receive quality translations from big translation communities, no matter where the project is hosted.
Goals
- Provide an interface for translators to submit translations to multiple projects, regardless of the type of the underlying version control system (VCS)
- Reduce the overhead a project maintainer usually undertakes to administrate accounts for translators
- Help translators do more by eliminating the need to subscribe to each VCS and learn its commands and tricks
- Encourage collaboration between developers and maintainers and thus, increase the language coverage of the participant projects
Currently Transifex is used by the Fedora Project (translate.fedoraproject.org) to manage translations by a few hundred translators to 75 projects and 70 languages, peaking at 3000 translation submissions per month.
