Transifex
Framework; Unify different translations for same segment
Why TMX?
・ To eliminate the differences in the translation: TMX can translation aligned between different
systems and translator themselves
・ Reduction of translation work: You can translate at once the sentence that has
been registered in the TMX ・ Joint translation:
You can joint translate by using cloud base tool
like Transfix, Launchpad
Translated word: ja Source word: en
TMX precision
How to do it
Standards of internationalization that gettext PO files TMX is made from PO files
Mahara and Moodle is not PO files ↓ SO, we make a tool that cross-‐‑‒converts the language files and PO of Mahara and Moodle
