[Gramps-devel] [off topic] translation tools

[jerome <rom...@ya...>]

Hi,


Whatever your translation (book, program, text), the couple intltool + gettext file format seems to be the most flexible and accessible.

I had used an interesting and powerful program : Transolution [1], which also supported XLIFF file format [2][3].

There is similar projects (like Omega T) [4], but nevertheless I find small scripts or tools sometimes more useful even for a big project like translating a book.

Maybe txt2po [5] (html2po, oo2po, etc ...) or GNUnited Nations [6] are not the sexiest, but they should also be able to translate a book.

Note, we had started to list some projects [7] for an off-line version of gramps' manual.

I hope this could help.
