Goals

• Provide an interface for translators to submit translations to multiple projects, regardless of the type of the underlying 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

Setup & Requirements

See INSTALL file.

Documentation

$ make docs     # generate Epydocs

Translating Transifex itself

Use the i18n.py script to extract messages and to compile and merge POT/PO files. The i18n.py is able to extract the modules descriptions and summaries stored in the database. Use the following command for more information.

$ ./i18n.py --help
