Pootle is an online translation management tool with translation interface. It is written in the Python programming language using the Django framework and is free software originally developed and released by Translate.org.za〔(Translate.org.za )〕 in 2004. It was further developed as part of the WordForge project and the African Network for Localisation and is now maintained by Translate.org.za. Pootle is intended for use by free software translators, but it is usable in other situations. Its main focus is on localization of applications' graphical user interfaces as opposed to document translation. Pootle makes use of the Translate Toolkit for manipulating translation files. The Translate Toolkit also offers offline features that can be used to manage the translation of Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice.org in Pootle. Some of Pootle's features include terminology extraction, translation memory, glossary management and matching, goal creation and user management. It can play various roles in the translation process. The simplest displays statistics for the body of translations hosted by the server. Its suggestion mode allows users to make translation suggestions and corrections for later review, thus it can act as a translation-specific bug reporting system. It allows online translation with various translators and lastly it can operate as a management system where translators translate using an offline tool and use Pootle to manage the workflow of the translation. == History == Pootle was first developed by David Fraser while working for Translate.org.za in a project funded by the (CATIA ) programme. Its first official release was made in December 2004 although it had been used in various internal Translate@thons by Translate.org.za. The name Pootle is an acronym for ''PO-based Online Translation / Localization Engine'', but it is also a character in the BBC children's program The Flumps. Translate.org.za released various versions and in 2006 Pootle was further developed as part of the WordForge project, a project funded by the Open Society Institute and the International Development Research Centre. This added XLIFF file management and infrastructure for translation workflow. Many of these features were added in the 1.0 release. Pootle is used by OpenOffice.org,〔(OpenOffice.org and OpenSolaris installation of Pootle )〕 One Laptop Per Child's learning environment Sugar〔(Sugar Labs Pootle server )〕 and other projects.〔(Pootle live server ): list of active Pootle servers〕 Pootle is the basis of the (Verbatim project ) which is building localisation infrastructure for Mozilla projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pootle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
