You can read the whole patent here: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20150324336.PGNR.

Their client is open source Yes, but the client (basically a simple command-line application for downloading and uploading translation files) is *not* Transifex. The Transifex system remains closed-source, patented and proprietary. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer ___ Pingus-Devel mailing list Pingus-Devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pingus-devel

Feel free to use anything you want :) The main point is: currently translating Pingus is barely possible for a non-technical person. To be honest, even as a programmer I'm not sure how I should translate the pingus levels, because there are some mysterious generation scripts, the gettext files are incomplete, etc. It'd be great to simplify the translation process, especially with so many new levels coming. > > (As a translator, I have also found several technical issues with > Transifex.) > Regards, Marcin ___ Pingus-Devel mailing list Pingus-Devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pingus-devel
