Programming Lang: Python
Description     : Web-based translation and translation management tool

 Pootle provides a rich set of features for managing a translation
 project.  It integrates components of the Translate Toolkit to provide
 error checkers for translation messages and the ability to download files
 in a number of formats: PO, XLIFF, CSV.  Pootle can also provide compiled
 PO files for download. You can use it to assign work to translators in
 your team, and you can define goals to help focus the efforts of your
 translation.  Pootle can run without a Web server or be proxied through
 your existing Apache server.  The Translate Toolkit is a set of software
 and documentation designed to help make the lives of localizers both more
 productive and less frustrating.

Pootle is available in squeeze, but removed from sid and wheezy
for lack of a maintainer. I don't like to maintain Pootle, but I
use it and unfortunately need it in wheezy. Help welcome!

Hi Martin,

As you know, there is already working packaging for pootle 2.1.6 in the
package subversion:

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-l10n/pootle/trunk/

it needs updating for the recent upload of the python-djblets package which
removes the need for pootle to carry some 3rd party libraries.

However, pootle 2.1.6 is not compatible with django 1.4 which will ship with
wheezy. At this stage, there's no new upstream release for django 1.4 so I
think we're too late for wheezy. When pootle supports django 1.4, we can
always offer that to wheezy users through wheezy-backports.

cheers
Stuart

Yes, after not working on that issue some time I forgot about
my own bug. Where did I carry my head this early morning?

OK, too bad. I thought there is a patch available or in the works,
according to the upstream mailing list:

But maybe it is too late for wheezy anyway.
