A new approach for making localization of Atlassian products (currently beta implementation for JIRA) much easier and available for all users.

1. When you see something
Translate Something
In-product translations in JIRA

2. The Business Need
• JIRA is present everywhere in various industries
• Localized JIRA is necessary for many businesses
• Companies want also their own dialects
• Traditional localization process is cumbersome
and expensive
• TAC helps, but we want more
• In-product Translations for the rescue

3. DEMO

4. Under The hood
• Pluggable translation transform (available as
of JIRA 5.1)
<translation-transform key="com.atlassian.jira.translations.inproduct-transformation"
name="InProduct translations transform"
class="com.atlassian.translations.inproduct.MessageTransform">
<description>Applies non visible characters to all messages</description>
</translation-transform>
• Javascript on the client side pre-processing
key/value pairs and preparing making the
markup nice again
• ActiveObjects for storage (and REST)
• Some UI (under development)

5. The Future
• Invisible Unicode markers
• Nice Atlassian UI
• More robust handling of sophisticated nested
translations
• Exporting translations locally to a language
pack
• Exporting translations to TAC
