Is Jabylon the right Tool for me?

Jabylon helps you, your user community and translators to translate software projects more easily. If you are looking for a feature rich web based translation tool that is easy to setup, easy to use and can be integrated tightly into your source code repository and build process, Jabylon might be what you are looking for.

So far Jabylon can be used to translate

• Java property files
• Android Applications
• iOS Applications

The application is based on OSGi and designed to be highly extensible. That means that other translation methods and formats will be supported in the future and you are free to create your own plugins.

Jabylon can be a great help if you are working on a software project that needs to be translated into multiple languages. You can either use it as a public server to enable your community to contribute suggestions and translations to your software or in your intranet to simplify the translation collaboration in your company.
