Alternative source language
This page may have information that affects to a yet-to-be-released version of Pootle.
Description
Pootle has the ability to display alternative source languages while translating. Thus, translators who know another language better than English can take part in the translation project. Also, it provides a way to dissambiguate terminology seeing how other languages have translated the same translation unit.
Setup
Users who want to use the functionality need to specify the desired alternative source languages in their account's settings.
Note that if the selected project doesn't have the alternative source language it couldn't be displayed.
This feature is enabled by default, but alternatively, Pootle server administrators can disable this feature by setting
ENABLE_ALT_SRC = False
in pootle/settings.py.
Known issues
- This might need lots of memory and possibly processing power in large projects
