If people or organizations want to install on their own server, they just
need to copy files to server, setup PHP and MysSQL and can use.

Instead of having all text in a text area, the text could be spitted into
sentences and then translate sentence by sentence (maybe using a sliding
feature). For more information and context about each sentence a show
context feature could be added. Mark each sentence as translated, reviewed
or approved to have a quality control of each sentence. Provide a progress
of translation based on that criteria. These are some ideas I have in mind.

There are two ways of handling it: (i) user auth; (ii) user session. In
first case, this app could be used as an workbench and all users can have
accounts and store all their own translation. I second case, it could
generate e session code and save in database with all translation units and
users can have access at any time with that session code.

Any change to each translation unit (TU) could be stored in the
database. Information about time and other important thing could be stored
too. A revision history feature also can be added. Using revision history
feature all changes could be highlighted in each TU. In case when users have
accounts and share their translation projects, logging could be used to show
what and who have been changed. Just some thoughts about logging feature.

Sorry about wordfast, I forget it imports TMX files as well. ;)
