Collaborative translation tool

Question

Do you know any collaborative translation tool?

I've seen the suggestions in this answer, but I'm specifically searching for a tool to translate books (so large documents made of paragraphs, mostly), with possibility for other users to check/correct/validate other users' translations, roles (admins, validators...), and if possible something that has a nice API so I can convert the result into LaTeX to publish the book.

The tool could be SaaS (preferably free) or open-source (to be hosted on LAMP or similar).

Answer 1

I recently know this project - Narro

http://code.google.com/p/narro/

it seems an open source collaborative translation tool only need a server with php and mysql to deploy

Haven't tried it out but i think it should be something that you are looking for

Otherwise there is another website of collaborative translation: http://crowdin.net/

I'm not sure if it meets your need but I think it's worth to try

Answer 2

I have been working with a really useful collaborative translation tool, http://poeditor.com/. It allows you to create as many projects as you wish and make them public for contributors to join and translate for you. Contributors can collaborate on translations with no limits and the work space is really nice and simple to use.
