Re: [babel-dev] Does Eclipse Babel suffer from the "not invented here" syndrome?
|
Hi Claude,
We didn't actually start something on our own. The Babel project
started under a premise that Aptana contribute the code to a web app
that they were using for the translation of their own applications.
http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/babel/
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/babel-dev/msg00002.html
We could have started with anything, really, and the Aptana contribution
gave us a great head start.

If this is the case sorry to ask again and thanks for pointing me to
the appropriate thread.
Here is the point: There are already advanced tools in the open source
space that enable to localize projects on-line. I am more specifically
thinking about pootle (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/) and the
translate toolkit that cover at least most of the on-line translation
use-cases.
Why did you choose to start creating something of your own instead of
adopting such tool and contribute to it?
Thanks for the highlight,
Claude Vedovini
