hi guys

I’m searching for a standalone ruby application which allows our  
customer to manage the translations for different applications in one  
place.

The idea is to use a I18N backend wrapper in the staging environemt  
which calls the transalation app for every translation token, so the  
customer can see his changes to the specific app in realtime.  
For the production server the idea was that we pull the current locale  
files from the translation service during the capistrano deployment.

sounds interesting? do you know of any existing solution for this  
rails quest?

thx a lot for your comments

Sounds a bit like the workflow automation WebTranslateIt has.  
[http://docs.webtranslateit.com/workflow\_automation/](http://docs.webtranslateit.com/workflow_automation/)  
I haven’t looked at these specific features in other translation  
webapps,  
like [http://www.localeapp.com/](http://www.localeapp.com/), [http://99translations.com/](http://99translations.com/) etc, but I  
wouldn’t be surprised to find that they’ve done similar things.

My view is that you want to cut down on the friction in the translation  
process as much as possible, so it’s worth it to pay someone building a  
business around providing a good translation tool instead of rolling  
your  
own.

Hi,

I would recommend a service to use this (Disclaimer, I am the founder of  
[lingohub.com](http://lingohub.com)), especially if you really want to do translations  
(Translating space is much more than a CMS).  
For just content changes I would recommend CopyCopter.
