How Amanuens Works
Setup The System
Simply tell Amanuens how to connect to your source code repository and the paths where to look for resource files, and you're done.
Amanuens supports Subversion, Team Foundation Server, Mercurial and Git.
Amanuens supports .NET .resx files, but we're working to add support for Java's .properties files as well as other localization frameworks.
Add Translators
Add as many translators as you like. Each translator can be assigned any number of languages.
Translators (as well as administrators) can authenticate with a user name and a password, or with an OpenID.
Assign Translations
With a single mouse click, you can assign translations to the translators you have created.
Resource file generation for a new language, if needed, is a simple and quick operation.
Amanuens keeps a local copy of resource files so that performance is excellent and bandwith usage is limited.
Translators work directly in their web browser and they don't need any special application.
Synchronize And Commit
With a single mouse click, you can synchronize data with your repository as well as commit changes.
When Amanuens detects changes to resource files, it highlights those changes so translators can easily spot them.
Amanuens will soon support automatic synchronization and commit, so those tasks can be scheduled for execution at a regular interval.
If you sign up now, you'll get Amanuens for free for the entire duration of the beta, plus you're entitled to great discounts after the beta period is over.
