The Transifex Community and Indifex are proud to announce the newest version of their flagship Open Translation Platform, Transifex 0.9 code-named "Mojo".
Transifex is an open-source web application, which gives translators a simple yet powerful web interface to manage translations for multiple remotely-hosted projects. Projects can be translated straight from the user's browser or retrieved for offline translation, and various translation statistics can be read at a glance. Some popular open-source projects using Transifex include MeeGo (Moblin/Maemo), Mercurial, XFCE, LXDE, Fluendo, Cherokee, RPM, and yum. You can experience Transifex 0.9 live at the common, upstream service of Transifex.net, which serves translations to more than 870 independent projects and businesses around the world. http://www.transifex.net/ A big 'Thank you!" to all those who made this possible, and most importantly, to the projects and translators who trust Transifex with their translations. What's new in Mojo ================== Transifex 0.9 ships a number of new features and important bugfixes. It also lays the groundwork for the next major release, Transifex 1.0, which will include some huge changes (stay tuned!). During the development of Transifex 0.9 we have closed more than 35 major tickets and recorded 336 changesets on more than 6000 files. Here are some of the new features shipped in Transifex 0.9: - A new Extension Engine allows developers to write plug-and-play 'addons' which can extend or override parts of the core functionality, and improve extensibility, code readability and on-demand scalability. - Team Sharing: A project can now reuse the language teams another project, allowing the full support of larger, 'umbrella' communities like MeeGo. - New supported i18n directory structures, such as PO directories named by the locale code, the LC_MESSAGES locale standard, grouped and suffixed language files, and the Publican standard structure. - Project Widgets allow a maintainer to display the project's translation statistics on a website as a simple image: perfect for embedding in wiki pages, Trac instances, and email. And more: - Transparent file ownership with auto-locking and releasing of file locks - More pre-submit checks to ensure high quality and robust build processes - Improved handling of VCS Exceptions - Improved searching to find the projects you are interested in more easily The full release notes can be found on the documentation site: http://docs.transifex.org/releases/0.9.html Getting Transifex ================= Transifex 0.9 is already live at the upstream instance at http://www.transifex.net/.
