			Various pieces of technology where used and enhanced in this project, all of the work being around format manipulation and translation management tools.

			== Translation Toolkit ==

			The [http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/index Translate Toolkit] allows us to convert various source texts (HTML, wiki, etc) into standard file formats such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext Gettext PO] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xliff XLIFF] (a translation interchange format).

			The key to good translation is to divorce translators from the layout, just as content is divorced from layout in the HTML and CSS paradigm. Thus the toolkit allows us to take raw HTML and extract the textual content. This content is then translated and managed using Pootle and finally the translations plus the original English are combined to create the translated content.

			===Enhancements===

			During the project a number of enhancements occurred. The first work was with HTML thus we enhanced the <tt>html2po</tt> tool to be more robust, adding [http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ htmltidy] to the process to clean up badly formed HTML.

			During the course of the project we added support for wiki formats, which was essential for the translation of Pootle documentation. This was based on the <tt>txt2po</tt> converter, since wiki syntax is usually just a simple text layout. The initial format used was [http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki DokuWiki] but [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] syntax was added quite quickly as it was relatively easy to add new flavours.

Pootle itself was monitored and bug fixed. In cases such as creative commons a number of scripts needed to be created to allow their content to be transformed to and from PO for work on the Pootle server.
