GlotPress

Description

Many open source projects span regions, countries and dialects and need to support a variety of translations, GlotPress is here to help you collaborate online with your translators to ensure your users see your software in their native language.

GlotPress has two versions, a standalone version and this WordPress plugin version. At this time these two versions are functionally similar, but the plugin version is likely to start moving away from the standalone version in future versions. For the rest of this document, any reference to “GlotPress” should be taken as the plugin.

For more information about GlotPress, feel free to visit the channels listed below in the “Communication” section.

So who should use GlotPress?

Any developer of software that uses gettext, like WordPress theme or plugin authors. But that’s just the start, anyone who uses a gettext bases system can use GlotPress to help their translators collaborate.

This plugin wouldn’t be possible without all the hard work that has gone in to the standalone version of GlotPress and we’d like to thank all those who contribute to it.

Support

For basic support questions, please use the WordPress.org support forums.

If you have a bug or feature request please visit the issues list to help improve it in future.

Отличный плагин как для больших так и для маленьких проектов. Аналогов практически нет, тем более бесплатных. Минимум кода, максимум возможностей. Документация написано от и до. Спасибо, ждём новых версий!

Very useful plugin, I used it, when i was looking for a plugin for my own WordPress. Because my coworkers do not speak english, I decided to take part in the translation process of plugin onto WordPress.org. I discovered a very powerfull and useful tool. Also, i would like to request an specific add in order to include a "glossary" plugin (similar than WebLate or Transifex).
