Interview with Dimitris Glezos on Transifex
Free software is used all around the world, and as such it needs to be translated to all kinds of different locales. Fedora has a very active translation community, and they decided it was time that some better tools existed for contributing translations and integrating with upstream. To find out more about this, I talked with Dimitris Glezos, discussing the new Transifex project, what it was like to work on a Google Summer of Code Project, and much more..."

Interview with Dimitris Glezos on Transifex
Because of how well Transifex is integrated as a technical and social solution, it has the
chance to start a mini revolution in translation of libre/free and open source software. It
couldn't be much easier for a project to plug into the existing infrastructure at
http://translate.fedoraproject.org, or to adopt the code to run on their own systems. A
translator can use it right now to integrate all their upstreams running against their own
instance of Transifex on the desktop.
I'm wickedly biased for Dimitris' work, but it really is great stuff.
