Multi-Language Implementation

Entrans can now be deployed for translation of PO files of multiple languages. This has been a long-standing request from the community and has be implemented in the current version.

File Hierarchy

To better organize all the uploaded into Entrans a virtual PO file hierarchical structure is now available. PO files can be uploaded or organized into different branches thereby maintaining a neat file hierarchy.

Upload/Download of compressed files/archives

Compressed archives of PO files can now be uploaded into Entrans. PO files can be compressed in the following formats .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .gz, .bz2, .bz and then uploaded. This feature requires the web-server hosting Entrans to be a Linux based one.

Upload PO files via URL

PO files on the Internet can also be uploaded into Entrans. Simply create a text file having one URL per line and save the text file with a ".url" extension. When you upload this text file into Entrans, it retrieves the PO files from the given URL. This feature requires the web-server hosting Entrans to be a Linux based one and requires "wget" to be installed and configured properly.

PO files downloadable by all users

Another request from the community was that any user should be able to download the PO files and translate it offline, if he chooses to. This option is now available. A user can now download a file/files and translate it/them using some other tool. The user can then send the translated PO files to the administrator of Entrans, who will merge it with the file already in Entrans.

Modular source code

The source code has been made more modular so that it is more readable for the developers and the community.
