Re: Automated Translation Management -- Surely someone has already done this?
The django-rosetta app might help you: http://code.google.com/p/django-rosetta/
It allows easy online editing of the po/mo files.

Re: Automated Translation Management -- Surely someone has already done this?
so seems that the answer is no, and If you would share your work I
(and probably many other) will appreciate it very much :)

We use http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/index for this. It's not really easy to set up, and it doesn't integrate with Django, but it works.

Thanks for the prompt response Alex. > You really want to be storing the translations at the DB level to that > effect check out:http://code.google.com/p/django-multilingual/ > orhttp://code.google.com/p/transdb/ I've checked these out before, however don't see how they solve my problem. They seem to only operate on entire fields of a model, which is not what I want. I could use django-cms' own translation framework if I was happy to translate an entire field at once. Unless I'm missing something in the somewhat minimal documentation? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

You really want to be storing the translations at the DB level to that
effect check out:
