This is interesting:

The OSTD ( http://littlesvr.ca/ostd/ ) is an automatic translations system – it will take your .POT file and populate it with translations based on strings in other open source software, generating .PO files. Given that you can see which software the strings come from – this will be much more accurate than other automatic translation systems such as Google Translate.

In short, the beginnings of an automated glossary. Maybe worth exploring a collaboration? No APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. at the moment.

Supposing those other stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. are products of human labour, and not of another (or the same) automated source – it seems good.

I see it as a very short term solution, however. As long as more and more translatorlings leave their job to automated systems, that system becomes vicious, so more and more garbagge will populate those new .PO filesPO files PO files are human readable files which contain translations we use. These files are not used by WordPress itself. Each language will have its own PO file, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.po file, for german there would be a de_DE.po, for British English there might be en_GB.po..

Automated good translations are just a dream to this moment. And this OSTD is not an automatic translator, but an automatic searcher for hopefully human strings spread around elsewhere…

  Very true, and yes, the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. are products of human labor. I agree with the system becoming polluted, but I like the idea of having previous translations as helpers. The ideal scenario would be to have this functionality in a tight system (like GP), where consistency can be a little more accurate. In other words, an internal, human generated, glossary.

    Speaking about glossaries, how can one generate a glossary from GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org.?
    Is it possible?

    Zé,
    
    I totally agree with your ideal scenario. When we have a trustable crew (sharing the same semantic universe and) providing equally trustable stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. to such a glossary, then we can get consistent suggestions coming from that ‘automated’ system.
    
    That is a must indeed…
