Ask HN: What lib/tool do you use for translation of your app?
5 points by JustAGeek on June 21, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hi!

I'm working on a side project at the moment, it's basically a tool to help with translating a given application.

I'm now at a point where I need to know which libs or tools are most commonly used, eg gettext, yaml, ...

So what are you guys using?




I use gettext since years in different projects coded in different languages.

My main reasons for using it:

* it just works, since years

* libs for many programming languages

* tools to help edit the po-files for every major operating system

* I prefer to write plain English strings into my application instead of symbols for example.


I can concur with that. gettext works incredibly well. There are great examples in Wordpress development on how it's used.
