I’ve just discovered Transifex, an online editor for language files.

Couldn’t find more WP people chatting about it, so I thought I’d start the conversation here.

Check out an example (my project):
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/wysija/

A few advantages :

free for open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. projects
makes collaboration easy
we can pull all the MO real quickly
versioning
good support from the team behind it (there are minor bugs)
open source itself
no need to install GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. or Code Styling

This is the bomb for me. What do you think?

Could you explain what you find better about it over GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org.?

  Good question. But first, some disclaimers:
  
  1. we’re new on Transifex. My experience is 2 weeks old.
  2. I’ve used GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. only a few times for JetPack over a year ago.
  3. Because of the above 2, I tried both again for a comparison
  
  Other Transifex advantages than above, in order of importance:
  - it can host plugins, unlike translate.wordpress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ (might be unaware of future plans)
  - I could install GlotPress, true. But we don’t want to maintain another service.
  - internal messaging system and notifications (awesome)
  - keyboard shortcuts (feels like POedit)
  - roles and permissions
  - open to all translators / request permission first
  Little extras that I haven’t used yet:
  - locking a translation while working on it
  - translators can “watch”/follow a translation
  - merge from .po for those who still prefer POEdit
  - their fuzzy translations feature is called “Translation memory”. They seem to swear by this, but our project is too new to really use it.
  - fetch 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. automatically from our server to Transifex daily (maybe GlotPress does this?)
  All features not mentioned above are shared by both, essentially.

  Konstatin and Hugo gave me an update on GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. at WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. San Francisco, yesterday. Feel a little less ignorant today. 🙂

Hi guys,
I’ve been using GlotPressGlotPress GlotPress is the translation management software that powers Translate.WordPress.org. More information is available at glotpress.org. for a long time and I found Transifex more powerful and easy to use.
Kim has made a great summary of pros/cons. I feel GlotPress a bit abandoned, and Transifex is growing so I feel really comfortable moving stuff to Transifex
