Tolk: A better way to translate your app

Today I came across an interesting translation app for Ruby on Rails called Tolk. Tolk is a Rails engine designed to facilitate the translators doing the dirty work of translating your application to other languages. It gives translators a slick little web interface for translating words and phrases into whatever language you are needing help translating.

I think we’ll be implementing a Tolk instance to translate MediaCore, which is our open source video cms project. We’ll provide a little review of Tolk once we get it setup and running.

    Hello, I was thinking how you are dealing with different environments ? How I understand you need to deploy the untranslated app version to production and then translate it via “tolk”. Is there a way to translate locales with “tolk” local or on staging env and then magically transfer them to the production env with new deploy? I can only think about some not so easy cap tasks.

    Would love to get an update or new post on how the Tolk integration turned out.
