[http://pootle.translatehouse.org Pootle] is used to allow translators to collaborate on both doing the initial translation & refining it once 'completed'.

== Installation ==
http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/pootle/en/stable-2.5.0/server/installation.html

Assuming a base Debian stable (6.x):
{{{
apt-get install -y libapache2-mod-wsgi
apt-get install -y mysql-server python-mysqldb phpmyadmin mytop
}}}

== Usage ==
See UserGuidelines/Localisation#A.UsingPootle

== Maintenance ==
When adding languages, use this resource to configure them properly:
 * http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms

The script that Fran used to use to update files between Bzr & Pootle is:
 * [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/attachment/wiki/UserGuidelines/Localisation/translate.cmd translate.cmd]

If the script fails, check for the presence of a ` in a T("") - this causes the languages.py to reset the languages/* to default &/or stop web2py2po from working!


== !ToDo ==
* Link to the s3translate module within Sahana
 * Unfortunately it doesn't seem that we can easily automate the upload back to Pootle:
