A group focusing on coordinating and streamlining translations.

Three key focuses (among others):

• Efficiency -- reusing translation string information, translator information
• Currency -- linking translations and variants with originals so that staleness can be tracked and avoided
• Usability -- better interfaces (two-panel structure, use of color and formatting), interoperability with better tools (hooks for using external software packages or string-dbs for suggestions)

Related projects

• Interface translations wiki - focusing on MediaWiki interface translations; could be part of a larger project
• Translations wiki (proposed) - a place to move Translation requests and better organize information about, for, and by translators
