Hi all!

I was wondering how people manage their application translations ?  
I found solutions like tolk gem that will provide Web UI, but that will  
work only if you have Active Record/db in your application. Also, tolk  
like solutions are one per project.

But if you have 3 project and all of them want to translate ? How you  
manage then ? For each project install web ui plugin to and translate  
again ?

I didnt found a centralized way to translate (manage I18n.t keys ) for  
more then one application.

I was wondering if out there is some web service that will provide web  
ui to

1. create/import/export translations
2. Sync service translations with your local i18n object ?

Hi,

We recently looked at a couple of different centralized web applications  
to  
help in our i18n efforts. We settled on WebTranslateIt, but there are a  
few  
others. We only have one application, but webtranslateit seems capable  
of  
managing several projects.

I wrote up a blog post about it. It mostly covers how we match our  
current  
workflow (several parallel feature branches in development) with a  
centralized service for translations.

You might also want to try signing up for the LocaleApp  
([http://www.localeapp.com](http://www.localeapp.com)) - seems like it will have all the  
functionality you need.

Christopher,

as I see in webpage you provide, locale app is still unavailable.  
When do you think it will be out ?
