The localization server 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.

Project status

Some translation teams already use alpha versions the module to create Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 translations. The ultimate goal of this project is to have a central translation server setup at drupal.org, and the drupal.org redesign process is placing this functionality on the same location with project module. Therefore all input is welcome in improving the module. Local installations will be kindly asked to migrate their data to drupal.org once the central server is setup. This will ease maintenance, feedback to module developers and distribution of translations for users.

Drupal 5.x support discontinued

The target for the drupal.org deployment is Drupal 6.x, so Drupal 5.x support for this module was discontinued. All the required dependencies are available for Drupal 6 for quite some time now, and all new bug fixes and improvements will go to the Drupal 6 branch.
