When translating plugins or themes, it can be hard to know the context in which the string appears. In GlotPress, we’ve got the table view for translations where there is very little context. Sometimes you can use the “References” to find the right line in code and try to guess context from code.
Our work on Local GlotPress, as announced in February, is an attempt to bring GlotPress translation to your local blog by making use of the currently installed plugins or themes. You can load their translations into the Local GlotPress, make changes, and deploy the translations back into WordPress to see them right away.
Additionally, Local GlotPress features inline translation: when viewing the interface with the (partially) translated strings, the strings can be translated in-place. Colors indicate the availablility of inline translation for the particular text.
