Abstract:

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for enabling user communities around the world to engage in translation of web properties while using such web properties. In certain embodiments, a translation interface is provided with a served web property to allow users to submit translations for user interface (UI) strings from a particular property interface. While a user is engaging with the web property, the interface can also enable in-context editing and submission of translations. For example, translation submission can be presented as a replacement for the translated text within the page that is being rendered to the translator user. Certain interface embodiments also are configured to allow the user community to give feedback on the submitted translations.
