Zanata is a web-based system for translators to translate documentation and software online using a web-browser. It is written in Java and uses modern web technologies like JBoss EAP, CDI, GWT, Hibernate, and a REST API. It currently supports translation of DocBook/Publican documentation through PO files, and a number of other formats. Projects can be uploaded to and downloaded from a Zanata server using a Maven plugin or a command line client.
For developers and writers: By using Zanata for your document translations, you can open up your project for translations without opening your entire project in version control.
For translators: No need to deal with PO files, gettext or a version control system - just log in to the website, join a language team and start translating, with translation memory (history of similar translations) and the ability to see updates from other translators in seconds.
