The localization server powers http://localize.drupal.org/

It provides a community localization editor, which allows people to collaborate on translating projects to different languages, especially for Drupal. It is inspired by Launchpad Rosetta (https://launchpad.net/rosetta) but is highly adapted to Drupal needs.

The module suite solves the Drupal project translation problem with a web based interface. The various Drupal projects release source code on a daily basis. The goal is to help translators to keep up with this pace by sharing already translated strings and distributing translations effectively.

Drupal 5.x support discontinued

The target for the drupal.org deployment was Drupal 6.x, so Drupal 5.x support for this module was discontinued. Drupal 5.x will only get extremely critical fixes.
