Oh, those stats!

almost over 5000 5600 projects known releases parsed over 149000 strings to translate

149000 IT IS LIKE TRANSLATING DRUPAL 43 TIMES

15 TRANSLATION TEAMS LAUNCHED IN BETA (MORE IN QUEUE)

Take a ride!

Envious?

SOFTWARE ON L.D.O • Translation template extractor http://drupal.org/project/potx • Localization server: http://drupal.org/project/l10n_server • Organicgroups http://drupal.org/project/og

TRANSLATE YOUR CODE • Open Atrium and Gallery 2 uses Localization server to translate their code • Youcan set up l10n_server to parse your own code and translate in-house • Eg. https://translate.openatrium.com/

Long way to go

Color the future!
