Open Translation Engine (OTE) Version 2.0
The goal of the OTE project is to solve two problems found today within the open source translation community:
Crowdsourcing[edit]
How can a large and divergent group of users easily build and manage translation dictionaries online? The OTE will provide a suite of web-based tools to bring people together in the various tasks needed to build a workable translation dictionary.
Dictionary Unification[edit]
How can we unify the numerous open content translation dictionaries available online? The OTE will support the import and export of many formats currently used by active open content/open source translation projects. Special attention will be paid to Apertium and Linguaphile (machine translation projects) and Wiktionary and Omegawiki (Wiki-based dictionaries)
