Re: full translation for Plone4

Hi,
to use a common translation memory try:
http://translate.google.com/toolkit/list?hl=en#translations/active
and check out other options.

Another hint is:
https://www.transifex.net/
as a commercial translation collaboration platform.

Upcoming Talks
There will be a talk of Wolfgang Thomas at the german Plone Konferenz  
in February:
http://konferenz.plone.de

This includes using XLIFF. Not sure if it is usable to managfe po  
files as well, but it will be worth a look.

Here is the unreleased abstract in german (try translator tools ;-)  
the programm will be online soon!
syslab his company is author of some internationalisation helper tools  
for LinguaPlone (this is offtopic for po files) but he is into the  
topic as well!

Wolfgang Thomas:
Mehrsprachige Sites erstellen und verwalten - Tipps aus der Praxis
Die Möglichkeit, Inhalte oder ganze Sites mehrsprachig anzubieten, ist  
eine der Stärken von Plone. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die  
Thematik der Internationalisierung (i18n) beschäftigt sich der Vortrag  
mit verschiedenen Aspekten, die dabei eine Rolle spielen. Der  
Schwerpunkt liegt auf praktischen Beispielen, nützlichen Werkzeugen  
und häufigen Stolperfallen.

- Äste oder in situ - Welche Site-Struktur ist sinnvoll?
- Inhalte übersetzen - Die Macht von XLIFF
- Locales, gettext, po-Dateien - automatisieren und Überblick behalten
- Plone hat's falsch übersetzt - was tun?
- Fehlende Übersetzungen - wie frustriere ich meine Nutzer möglichst  
wenig?
- Sprachumschalter - was sollte ich beachten?
- Kleine Helferlein - welche Tools und Pakete bieten Unterstützung?
- Stolperfallen - mo kompilieren, Länge von Texten, Sprachenmix, ...

Armin

P.S.
At last: Think about changing the translation company if they are not  
state of the art or bring them to state of the art or integrate them  
state of the art ;-)
