What does it do?

The Localization Manager (l10nmgr) is a localization management extension for TYPO3 supporting a variety of online and offline translation workflows.

Online translation

Online translation in the TYPO3 backend can be done in a two column view with additional information on changes in the source text.

Offline translation

For offline translation workflows the l10nmgr allows for export of translatable content into XML and MS Excel format. The exported XML files have a localization-friendly format and can be translated with any state of the art translation tool such as across, DéjàVu, MemoQ, SDL TRADOS TagEditor and SDL PASSOLO. Configuration files for major translation tools are provided and can be downloaded in the backend. MS Excel files can be translated in OpenOffice Calc or Microsoft Excel. After translation the target files can be reimported into TYPO3. All translation data is stored automatically in the right place – no manual copying anymore.

Automation

Exports for different parts of the website and for multiple target languages at the same time can be automated and exported files can be uploaded automatically to the FTP server of a language service provider or send by email. Translated XML files (XML or ZIP) can be automatically imported into TYPO3 by an import service.
