Dear list,
I´m searching for a wiki, which allows to generate synchronized
multilanguage documents.
What does that mean for me?
I want to define one lanuage (eg. english) as the "main" language. Every
document must first be written in the main language. From this basic
document we can create documents in other languages.
This already works in Xwiki in a nice way.
But what happens, when after a while some changes the document in the
main language? I found no possibility to mark the documents in other
languages as "outdated".
Even more: I would like to get the information, what was changed in the
main language document to be able to synch the other documents in a fast
and sufficient manner.
And then I would like to go one step further:
There are several really good CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tools on
the market. Specially OmegaT (Open Source) is my favorite tool for
translation processes.
So my dream:
If a document in the main language was changed, I get an information
about, that the documents in other languages are outdated (best would be
with a number telling "how much outdated" it is).
When I want to synch again one document, I choose the target language
and XWiki exports all changed sentences to a CAT tool (as already said,
OmegaT is my favorite).
After the translation work is done in OmegaT I can import the new
translated sentences at the right position in the target document in XWiki.
For me, my described dream sounds like as if this will be never possible
since it sounds so complicate (I´m not a programmer).
I tested lot of different wikis and from what I described here, TWiki
had the most (except the Workflow with OmegaT).
The big problem for me is, that I found no good way to export documents
from TWiki to PDF.
What I found with XWiki:
So XWiki is very good in exporting PDF and also can work with
multilanguage documents but can´t tell me something about the state of
the sychronization between two documents (and also can´t work together
with OmegaT).
Is my description about the features of XWiki right?
Do you see a possibility to add some my wished features (maybe there are
some extensions I didn´t found)?
Thanks for reply
Chynte
