We did consider Rosetta. It is a very nice looking tool, and has lots of desirable features. That said, we chose Pootle for several reasons: * It has all the features we really need -- through the web editting, direct PO file manipulation, user permissions, multiple projects, etc * We could set it up in an afternoon with some help from Dwayne; in contrast I tried to configure Rosetta for ccPublisher last week to give it a try. It requires that you upload your .pot files and they are imported by an admin. Ours are still sitting in the queue (until I delete them momentarily). So a > 7 day turn around doesn't seem worth the additional features which we don't need. * Pootle is Open Source, Rosetta is not. I don't care about degrees of freedom (ie, GPL v MIT v ...), but the ability to figure out what's going on when problems occur is important to me. I'm not questioning Ubuntu or Canonical's support for Open Source development; to the contrary, they're doing amazing work, and as such are very busy (see: > 1 week turn around). So I like to be able to fix it myself if necessary. * Adding new projects is trivial So its really not any one thing -- if the import had happened auto-magically, it would probably have been a much more difficult decision. That said, I'm incredibly happy with Pootle and think it will be a good choice for us in the long term. Nathan -- Nathan R.
