Description
This presentation introduces Benten, an open source based collaborative translation workflow support system, and describes (1) best practices for localization of Sakai CLE and uPortal and (2) adaptation to local needs at Kyoto University. Through the last decade, open source based solutions such as uPortal and Sakai CLE had been enabling higher educational institutions to collaborate in the level of source codes. The collaborative development support systems such as Jira and Subversion lowered institutional barriers to realizing the notion of Community Source. However, we still have challenges in translation for messages, buttons and help files for Sakai and Jasig products beyond institutional barriers. Also, each institution has their own needs to translate these translational units to adapt common translation to institutional culture. In this presentation, we will introduce Benten as a collaborative translation support platform in Sakai and Jasig Communities.
