First, there's #Weblate. I strongly recommend it, I have recently started using it for my own games. #Minetest also uses it.

Then, there's translatewiki.net. #FreeCol uses it and a number of other projects. Also good.

There are also #Zanata and #Pootle but I have no experience with these and they may be outdated (check for yourself).

Then, there are translation services tailored towards specific software:

#Pontoon for Mozilla.
#Eints for #OpenTTD.

#fedora announce the translation platform #zanata will be removed in favor of #weblate.
it means https://fedora.zanata.org will be stoped, the new place is https://translate.fedoraproject.org (which works fine since December 2019).

remember: you are welcome to host your project if you share Fedora community values! Open a ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-l10n/tickets

I am really close to reach my first #Fedora goal: allow #localization of Fedora #Documentation. It took 4 years.

My second fedora goal already is done: have our community to use #Weblate. It took one year.

Last goal was to remove #Zanata, it will be reached in a few months. It was delayed on my request. It "took" 3 years.

Nothing really is easy in life. But everything is possible with open source community.
I was not alone.
You are not alone.

#TIL about Zanata:
"a web-based translation platform for Translators to translate documentation and software online using a web browser."
https://translate.zanata.org

The service is run by Red Hat and software developers can set up their projects to be translated here, at no charge.

The platform itself runs on free code software:

C'est fatiguant de migrer une communauté à #Weblate... Ça râle pour des espaces superflus, et le respect du standard gettext...
Par contre, continuer à utiliser #Zanata alors que personne n'y va pour traduire ne pose pas de soucis.
À tous les mainteneurs de projets : gettext c'est juste le moins mauvais choix.
Faites avec ce que vous avez ou inventez mieux. Mais arrêtez de vous plaindre pour des contraintes inutiles que vous vous créez vous-même.

La traduction française de #Strawberry — le fork de #Clementine en Qt5 — est presque terminée !
Encore une petite centaine d'entrées à traduire et se sera fini !
Si vous avez envie de participer, ça se passe sur la plateforme #Zanata.

@Diffu There are many free and open source solutions.I'm currently using #Pootle https://pootle.translatehouse.org on my own server and it runs great.You can see it at https://translate.nikisoft.one .If you can't selfhost it,I would allow you to use my server for free.Before I switched to Pootle,I used #Zanata https://zanata.org but the project doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore.After they had two very long server outages I've gone away but I think it's online again.Anyway I don't know how reliable it is right now.
