==Mozilla and Wikipedia: comparison of localization approaches==

*'''Speaker''': Amir E. Aharoni

*'''Time''': 15:15
*'''Duration''': 45 min.

*'''Summary''': Mozilla and MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia, are similar in being two prominent Free Software applications that are translated to many languages. However, the path of a translation from the localizer's computer to the end user is quite different in the two projects. I worked on the localization of both applications, as well as of several others, and I am going to compare the localization approaches, tools and workflows that they use.

*'''Presentation slides (to provide after you talk)''':

*'''Ideal audience size''': The number is not important, but everybody who works on tranlsation and localization should be there ;)

*'''Equipment needs (video projector already included)''': speakers would be nice, but not mandatory.

*'''Submit a question for the ''speaker'' here''':
