Hi, would it be possible that The Document Foundation sets up a Google Translate (GT) account and makes it accessible to translators?
In translation of the Guides we use the GT service, either to translate English to Czech or Slovak, or Czech to or from Slovak. Quality of GT translations has significantly improved over the last years, quite often such translation can be accepted without changes. We use these translations in OmegaT to translate the Guides. The translations are produced offline by a script and loaded in OmegaT to an auxiliary translation memory, from where they can be fetched easily (GT can be directly used as a service, but it is a bit cumbersome, because it changes things like quotation marks, tags etc. These are fixed by the script). GT is a paid service (not expensive, I think USD20 / 1 000 000 characters). I think that the service can be used also to translate the help files. I is probably not useful to translate the GUI files. Our experience is that such translation speeds up the translation process a lot. Maybe that accessibility of such service will motivate others to translate the guides or the help.
