Hi folks,
I have written a translation tool allowing you to translate Mahara strings thru the web. The interface is similar to the Moodle one. At the moment, it is in an early alpha stage but it appears to provide the basic functionality pretty well. At the moment, it is AJAX based only. Degrading to non-javascript mode is on my todo list.
I have pushed my work into an unofficial mahara-contrib git repo. See http://repo.or.cz/w/mahara-contrib.git for more information. The development is done on the branch "adminlang" which was branched off the Catalyst branch "master". Fetch and merge the adminlang into your devel installation to test it. Do not use at production servers - you have been warned ;-)
You are warmly welcome to post here any comments, ideas, feature requests etc. as usually.

If I get a chance, I'll pull
If I get a chance, I'll pull it and have a play with it for sure :). It might help with updating the pirate language pack. Arrrr!
I have added some
I have added some installation instructions into ABOUT-THIS-REPO.txt - see
http://git.mahara.org/?p=contrib/adminlang.git;a=blob_plain;f=ABOUT-THIS...
At the moment, the branch lives in two repositories - repo.or.cz and git.mahara.org/contrib. You can use the one closer to you ;-)
More improvements
I have just committed improvements of the new translation GUI:
* support for non-javascript browsers
* report of missing strings
Also, I added instructions at http://www.mahara.org/wiki/En/Developers/Language_Pack_Development
