Do you hve a nice shiny Mac or iPhone app that you want to translate? Now you can easily manage the localisation of Mac OS X .strings files with translators using common open source PO editing tools.

I'll post a little later about using Pootle to allow you to do web-based community localisation of the same strings files.

Firefox Home become the motivator

What did it take to allow Pootle, our web-based localisation platform to support Qt Linguist (.ts), TMX and TBX formats?

Three lines of code!

Yes 10 African languages for Firefox. Officially there is 1 (one) African language (Afrikaans) in Firefox, not counting languages of wider communication like English, French, Portuguese and Arabic.

Well not really :)

The Translate Toolkit has been packaged for Fedora for a while now, what I've done is update to v1.2 (with v1.2.1 in the pipeline) for both Fedora 10, 9, RHEL 5 and OLPC.  This is the groundwork needed to get first Virtaal and then Pootle into Fedora.

Pootle and Mozootle have been merged.  Now its time to migrate Pootle onto the Django web framework.
