Transifex: An Open Translation Platform

One-liner: Transifex is a robot that interfaces between distributed upstream repositories and It pulls translation files, presents them on an easy-to-use web interface, adds workflow and , and uploading the translated files directly in the source code repository.

Overview

Ever wondered why so little open source software are available in many languages? Besides major distributions and established projects, most software, documentation resources and websites are mono-lingual. Why should localization be so hard?

Transifex is an ambitious project to provide people with a painless localization workflow. Its goal is to remove obstacles in community-powered translation and automagically handle the complex and tedious tasks around translation management. Content authors (including software developers, documentation folks and webmasters) use Transifex to translate their content, and translators to find projects and easily contribute translations to them.

A more detailed overview can be found on our blog: "Let a thousand languages bloom!".

Transifex.net

Transifex.net is a common, central, upstream portal for translations of various projects. We built it for the majority of small-to-medium open source projects in the world, which would like to reach out to the larger translation community for localization. These projects, unlike big distributions and desktop environments, don't have their own translation community.

Transifex.net is a hosted version of Transifex. Anyone is still free to install their own self-hosted version and grow their own translation community. Txn is for those who want peace of mind, and a piece of the big cake called 'open source translation community'.
