There have no "big bang" achievemnts for the Germanophone team
within the last year - at least if you just look at the results.
I'd like to mention a little "big bang" related to the German team.
André's efforts on the Open Language Tool XLIFF editor now allows the
translation community at large (beyond OpenOffice.org or any FLOSS
localization team) to have a free software based XLIFF editor.
Before that, translators had to work with closed source XLIFF editors
or used relatively non trivial conversion paths (Okapi/Rainbow+OmegaT).
Now, if their client wants them to work on XLIFF files, they can do so
quite easily in one step: open it in OLT and work.
That is a very good example of how FLOSS communities can provide
professionals with amazing tools and I'd hope that will allow
professional translators to participate more to FLOSS localization
projects. I think that is an important challenge for FLOSS l10n
communities.
Thank you André for your recent work on OLT, and thank you to Tim
Foster and all the others at Sun who first brought us this tool
originally (STE, for the old timers here).
