We are interested in translating articles (meaning long paragraphed text) from our language to a few of the more widely used languages in Europe.
To that end, I was looking for a way to do the following:
- Be able to give specific people the ability to collaborate (so login and possibly permissions)
- Manage the status (pending, worked upon, completed etc) of individual articles per language
- Collaborate on the translation of the text where people can translate parts of the same article at the same time.
- Easy to use (not everyone is that good with computers)
- Preferably free
All of the free solutions I have managed to find so far are oriented torwards app/program string translation.
I was thinking to use something like Trello to do points 1 and 2 and something like Google Docs to do point 3, however that would create an enormous overhead on adding new things and managing them. I think it could get unmanageable quite fast.
I expect that for each language each pool of people would be at most 10 people.
Do you have any ideas/suggestions?
Git? I'd personally recommend you read Simple versioning for plain-text documents (Linux) for more details.
