jEdit as a translation editor
Submitted by forkinpm on Saturday, 11 October, 2008 - 10:19
Hallo!
I am not a programmer but a writer, who writes in English and translates into German.
I am preparing a piece of documentation describing the use of jEdit as a carrier for a translation tool.
Initially it will be from an English source into German as a single target.
French, Italian and Spanish should be added as future target languages.
The jEdit editor has, I feel certainly the functionality, with its set of plugins to make a very useful translation base.
To whom can I address this request and introduce the dialog?
To whom can I send the document when it is ready?
An inital version, as a simple text document, will be ready by mid next week.
A version, as a HTML document, will be ready at worst two weeks later.
I could provide the necessary user and marketing documentation.
I hope that there is interest in such a project.
Regards, forkinpm.

I'm not sure what You are doing Yourself and what You want others to do for You. Since You are writing a doc about using jEdit for translation: Are You already able to translate text with jEdit?

However, most developers are not active here at the forum, but in the jedit mailing list, where You can subscribe here.

using jEdit as a translation platform

Hallo!
Thank you for the response.
Being able to translate using an editor is a function of a number of things. How I currently am using jEdit to test its ability to be used as a platform indicates that it has the wherewithall to be used as such. If you were interested and would like to receive the initial description of what is needed then I could send it to you.
It is not as complex as it may sound. The model described is as well thought as many others are.
Regards.
