Notes"just another po manager which adds more problems than it solves" – someone, 2012. Translate.org.za packages it with Virtaal, which is like an updated version of Poedit. Also asked User:El libre: It's good to merge and upload translations with PoeditUsually a pain to get a new project added. See VuFind, OJS, Sharelatex...Based on Django and Python. Upcoming version 1.0, with things TWN already has plus "native support for Qt files". TWN is already the Transifex that is not yet, we could say. Column expanded with help by User:Keunes.Born as another PO/translator toolkit web GUI à la Pootle, it's gradually implementing features that the other platforms have had for many years (hence some cells below are not up to date; cf. https://blog.cihar.com/archives/2016/11/04/weblate-29/ ). Instructions at weblate.org/hosting/Also some WordPress and Debian teams; OpenShot Video Editor; OpenERP Server, Web and Add-Ons; Blender Animation Design software; Linux Mint Distribution; Astronomer’s program Stellarium. Used even by GNU that hates web translation, but only 4 languages for few small projects. https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/gnu-translators "Launchpad used to be insecure and of low quality, but that was a while back. I hear they've improved." "Launchpad builds Debian-format packages only". Also asked User:El libreAsked User:Martin, User:Moorshidi and User:KaidoKikkas. Seems slightly active and their issue tracker is tidy, but feature set quite basic. https://www.ohloh.net/p/glotpressRedHat project created by unhappy Fedora users not agreeing with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ_on_migration_to_transifex.net , hosting only few fedora projects now. Based on Java. Real-time collaboration on string level, but hacky.PHP, Drupal moduleAsked User:Ryo567Claim to have 350k participants.
Translations are approved by the moderator's dogma not by majority voting.
"Translation Feedback" feature: If the translator's translation is not approved, the unapproved translations appear as threefold choices.
Originally developed by team in Romania. Integrates with Adobe translation infrastructure.Votes seem to play a major role, however it is unclear, on what basis translations are approved. Facebook encourages "translator communities" and shows translators whom of their friends they "help" by translating, i.e. it's "such an honor to do it". :) "several steps, but only two of them involve professional translators" https://books.google.it/books?hl=it&lr=&id=9fEjCQAAQBAJLink from each word in the interface when enabled, you can only propose and vote translations then they get locked.Used for SumatraPDF. He thinks TWN very ugly and hard to use and doesn't care about its features, may like it with TUX.Actually just a code browser, to download po files, see statistics, etc. All the work is still manual. https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide Can mark tasks as ongoing (https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/ContributeTranslations#Reserve_a_translation https://l10n.gnome.org/help/vertimus_workflow/) pot files generated with https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide#po_files Maybe GNOME is not using it at full potential though.Based on PHP and MySQL. Simple web interface. Asked User:ChaduvariAsked User:Chaduvari. Not so good if I see "Play [the screeshot]" translated as "Play [the game]" on G+.Java, MySQL"Mylingual" enables to translate the various web-services into your language unofficially.

Plus self-hosted instances like f-droid.org/translate Lot (5000+ devs; Fedora, MeeGo, Mozilla, Mercurial, Creative Commons, VirusTotal, Django, FreedomBox, DoudouLinux, OpenTranslators, OwnCloud, Zotero). «customers in over 30 countries representing over 17,000 projects with 170,000 users»phpMyAdmin (dozen projects, 2k strings)Lot, but "Launchpad Rosetta module is unmaintained (see the constant "Timed out" errors that appears everywhere)".

Search"Extract messages using simple text or a regular expression". Search via pogrep or Lucene, can distinguish among files but not languages (source and target searched together?).ReplaceText with regular expressions by admins directly on wiki; Special:SearchTranslations for everyone (no regex): each language (including message documentation) can be filtered. Each string is a wiki page: everything is crawled by search engines and it's immediate to go from a language to another of it (compare https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=868326).No?Fulltext search based on Whoosh (?)You can search in english or your language stringSearches everything together, allows to filter out some words.Can search for string keys and content.

Search is limited to particular message-group, and filter with status ("untranslated (by me)", "translated/voted (by me)", "live").
Search results can be sorted by 6 ways (incompleted/completed, easy/difficult, old/new).
Yes. By product. By language. By string.Search (Original/Translations) is available but may not always show all matching strings. Strings can be edited directly on the results page. No additional filtering.Search by string is only way to find messages to translate/vote.No?Can search in the project.NoneCan search in the project.

12
Translation memory or other?No TM; glossary i.e. terminologies where suggestion/definition for a word is shown to translators every time that word is used, with poterminology suggesting common words to standardise. They're trying to set up TM services at http://amagama.translatehouse.org/ now (still just a prototype).Own TM, ElasticSearch (also Solr option). Can be federated and can access TM of other instances over the web if public.Transifex incorporates a Translation Memory (TM) system to provide automatic suggestions based on similarities between source strings, allowing translators to leverage previous translations. See http://help.transifex.com/features/tm.html. As of 2015, it was missing some features offered by translatewiki.net: https://www.transifex.com/blog/2015/translation-memory-3-0/MyMemory? Some dictionary feature, since 2.4 editable while translatingYes, about all the projects inside LaunchpadNo TM. https://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2882.0 will have some sort of glossary feature https://github.com/zanata/zanata/wiki/Glossary-managementNo; but glossary (a list of existing translations for words are searched from the database)Similar translations are shown in Translation view.

15
Translator experience for outdated translations [1]Changes in source automatically mark translations as outdated; translators can list them; a diff for both the source and the translation is available to them within the editorWhen the source string is changed, the current translations are unconditionally removed? But they stay in the translation memory.
16
Validation featuresRudimentary TM; checkers to be written by admins, but 47 error checks for admins from pofilter, mostly specific to formats or compensating shortcomings in the translation editor and other requirements for valid target file export (like missing credits, blank translations). Actual benefit to translators and in preventing errors: dubious. But TWN doesn't check all variables even for MediaWiki (e.g. nonexisting magic words). http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/pofilter_tests.html Didn't find anything like http://pology.nedohodnik.net//doc/user/en_US/index-mono.html#sv-check-tp-kde thoughReviewing; fuzzy messages (e.g. PO), converted to suggestions; votes for suggestions (not sure if the latter belongs into this box)NoneNoAll translations need to be approved by a team of 2-3 validators per language. Discussion with(in) the teams and feedback on a separate forum. However this is a hack, not yet a GlotPress feature: https://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/123Votes and suggestions that can be exported and used for offline translation https://github.com/dashohoxha/B-Translator/blob/master/docs/README.org#the-processworkVoting and karma«At RailsConf 2012, Dutro [12] reported on Twitter’s highly successful approach to collaborative translation involving 550,000 volunteers, 16,000 active source language phrases, and 1,450,000 translations. Twitter’s approach involves the moderation of strings by translators with elevated moderator privileges and a reputation system that not only takes into account the amount of words translated by a particular translator, but also keeps track of their ‘karma’ and ‘phrase maturity’; as an additional mechanism, the Translation Center uses a community voting system to support the identification or the most suitable translation.» https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-35085-6_3VotesVotesNone?; TM match stats, votesNone"Concordance search"?NoneNoneRVoting; reviewers and moderators to approve/change translations

Some users can only give suggestions for the translators to approve, not all users have "overwrite" permission.Translation: fill a form, manual approval. All translators are equal, no suggestions.

Plural, grammar, gender and whatnotCase on next column: imported but not exported.In PO, "If a plural string doesn’t have all the plural form fields filled in or the number of plural forms is different than the number we have in our database for this language, the translations will not be imported"You have the po option for pluralSomething for pluralPlural tags appears. e.g. {{#targets_count_one}} for singular, {{#targets_count_other}} for plural.
{{}}s are for {{ mustache }} library: http://mustache.github.com/ ||| juthilo: Often, they use multiple strings where one with a variable might have been enough.
Depends on product.There are variables but strings are just newly created for each applicable case. Gender is a problem because there is no popular equivalent in many languages to the English "they" for unknown and many strings become inflexible because of the variables/their position.NoCan use regular expression to translate the various DOM nodes.No"Pluralization string grouping" O_o
27
ExportAll the supported formats via API + .qph, .qm, .mo. Can be integrated with VCS (CVS, SVN, Git, Darcs, Bazaar, Mercurial) on own Pootle server: only via PO, doesn't handle conflicts (VCS wins and Pootle marks own translations for review), can be triggered via GUI but needs passwordless keys.Directly to VCS by shell users, with no problems of format validation in export phase or other errors, that are not the committer's responsibility; .po export via GUI (url); export in native format via GUI (url). Plans for a fully automated export to the VCS in the future."They constantly forget to do tx pull/tx push in Fedora which leads to untranslated apps" https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-i18n/2013-April/004170.html ; "translators can accidentally break your package build", "developer gave Transifex write access to his VCS repository, and translations were automatically committed by Transifex" (before 1.0); in 1.0 export is triggered by project admin via CLIGit, Mercurial, no SVN; no conflict resolutionOnly to bzr repo directly; or PO download. The web transltor adds some legal headers automatically.Doesn't export message documentation. https://glotpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/294N/ANo.N/AManual/custom"Note that you can obtain .po files from your language's status pages on the GNOME Translation Project website.

28
Import"Merge snippets of PO files into your existing translations", but can only bulk-select them as approved/discarded/suggestions. New files (and projects) added by privileged users (admins) via GUI, also mass-upload of ZIPs; maybe also automatically if VCS integration and file pattern configured.Full offline-online translation integration via .po import/export by translators on GUI; new strings automatically from CVS, but new projects/files added by shell users. As of 2015, experimental feature to have group configuration on-wiki, with fully automated import.New projects created with a form on the site; management (only?) via your command line. From 1.0, will require POT: "intltool-based projects which do not have a POT file are not supported"."To enable automated workflow on GitHub, you need to enable Weblate service hook in settings with hosted.weblate.org as URL.
