====== Pootle ======

Pootle is a user-friendly web portal that makes the translation process so much simpler.  It allows online translation, work assignment, gives statistics and allows easy volunteer contribution.  You can run Pootle as an Internet server like [[live_servers|these projects]] or run your own copy on an Intranet (for individual work, team work or [[guide:translateathon|Translate@thons]]).

Pootle makes use of the powerful API of the [[toolkit:index|Translate Toolkit]]. Together, these tools are part of our project to make translation easier and of higher quality by creating better tools and user-friendly, central information.

The official Pootle server is at http://pootle.locamotion.org/ and you can find more information about this specific server [[official_server|here]].
