Hallo You won't be the first one to try to do this. You can have a look at the Pootle server used by the Belarusian team: http://gnome.mova.org/pootle/ They have GNOME and a few other things on there. I guess Ihar can share some of his experiences. There are many teams using Pootle for many projects. You can have a look here: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/live_servers Some reasons why I think this might be interesting for a team like this: - It makes it easier for newcomers to take part - People can contribute from anywhere - Organise your team by choosing who can suggest / translate directly - Terminology help make it easier to use correct terminology - Quality checks improves quality. Human review can focus on language - People can still translate offline if they want to (more choices) On Debian you can easily install Pootle with apt-get install pootle It can also run directly from the extracted files. For a hosting provider, mod_wsgi is probably the most important requirement. You definitely want to make sure you get the newest version (2.0.x), and configure it for optimal performance. You can get help on IRC at #pootle on irc.freenode.net and the Pootle mailing list. Let me know how things go for you and if you need any further help.
