Hi, this is a question that arises recurrently me
How do you handle translations of your applications?

I have seen that there are several companies that are dedicated to provide a paid service:
http://www.localeapp.com/
https://webtranslateit.com/
....

They look good. But I was wondering if there is something I can manage myself without relying on outside companies.

Before I upgraded to rails 3.1 I used Tolk https://github.com/dhh/tolk But isn't compatible with rails 3

I have seen this fork https://github.com/miloops/tolk but isn't working

Do you know any tool similar to tolk o something better that i can integrate with my App without relying in external services?

in advance thanks for your help and sorry for my english.

Hi,

It's not too hard to roll your own, if you want something basic:

But generally, my attitude is that a translation interface is not the focus of our business, so we happily use a commercial offering instead of putting in the hours to do it ourselves.

The old dilemma third party service or doing your own thing. As devs we tend to create our own solution, but I can tell you, focus on your core business.

My guess is your core business has nothing to do translation, localization, ... so I would recommend using a SAAS based solution.

Services bring you a lot of features and stability you otherwise have to do on your own: Syntax Checking, Keeping track of the translation texts (status, review process, ...), char count (for external translators), context (WYSIWYT) and so on.

As the founder of lingohub.com I am clearly biased, but we ourselves use many other services as well because making software translation as easy as possible is our core business. Not issue tracking (JIRA), repo hosting (Github), Continues Integration (Codeship), ...

And the good thing, there is no vendor lock-in, you always have your resource file. If you are not happy with a service, you can leave at any time.

If you have questions about lingohub, just contact helmut - at - lingohub . com
