What is Virtaal?

Virtaal is a graphical translation tool. It is meant to be easy to use and powerful at the same time. Although the initial focus is on software translation (localisation or l10n), it can be useful for document translation.

“Virtaal” is an Afrikaans play on words meaning “For Language”, but also refers to translation.

It includes features like: autocorrect, automatic terminology retrieval, machine translation via Google (and others), translation memory, terminology selection and highlighting as well as placeable support.
