Draft Roadmap

The project contains these main activities:

  1. Integration of itools & the Translate Toolkit - Reduce the functional overlap of itools and the Translate Toolkit: itools will serve as a technology foundation for the Translate Toolkit, while the internationalisation features provided today by itools will be moved to the Translate Toolkit.
  2. Specification & documentation - This includes: the description of the final functional scope, the API specification, and the test suite that will validate the command line interface and the library code.
  3. ODF (itools.odf) - Support for Open Document Format version 1.1 (version 1.2 is expected to become an OASIS standard around September 2008, too late for this project).
  4. XLIFF and PO (Translate Toolkit) - Support for Gettext PO, and XLIFF versions 1.1 and 1.2.
  5. The Command Line Interface (Translate Toolkit) - A command line interface will implement the translation format conversion.
  6. Dissemination - Public releases of the software and announcements in the ODF, OpenOffice.org and FOSS communities.

Stage 1

  • [Integration of itools & the Translate Toolkit] Adaptation of the Translate Toolkit to adapt its storage formats (at least PO and XLIFF) to itools.handlers.

Also see the discussion at dependencies.)
  • [Integration of itools & the Translate Toolkit] Align API terminology between the Translate Toolkit and itools. - itools & translate. (see terminology)

  • [Specification & documentation] Start building the Test Suite that will validate the toolset. - itools
  • [XLIFF and PO (Translate Toolkit)] At this stage XLIFF support would still be at version 1.1, and without special support for inline elements. (XLIFF 1.1 conformance validated, see XLIFF. Outstanding issues fixed in SVN with revisions 7975, 7976.)
