Inside TYPO3

3.8.6. Translation teamwork?

Most likely you would like to translate TYPO3 with help from other native speakers from the community. These are the options:

1. Set up your own translation server:

   1. Install TYPO3 and add those extensions you would like to support in you translation

   2. Install "llxmltranslate" and use the backend module "llXML" for translation

   3. Add user accounts for other translators (set their backend language to the language they are supposed to translate)

   4. The result - the language pack in "typo3conf/l10n/[language key]/" is ready for distribution.

   5. Pro: You have maximum freedom to keep the translation up-to-date with current core and extensions. You can distrubute the language pack as you like.

   6. Con: You have to intiate the technical set up yourself.

2. Use official translation server:

   1. Get URL, username and password from translator newsgroup.

   2. If the language is just added you will have to wait until Kasper announces that the translation server is updated with the new core.

   3. Pro: Easy solution, don't have to install TYPO3 yourself.

   4. Con: You must accept long times between core updates to that server and cannot distrubute your work yourself.
