An editor needs to take an extra step to make breaking things hard, and editing the right pieces easy. There&#8217;s also a host of content assist available to suggest translations, spell checking, glossaries, etc. Which opens two paths: You offer forms, and your localizer will never learn what&#8217;s happening in real life, or you drive a code editor beyond what the programmer of that code editor ever needed herself. I would love to try the latter again, this time on the web.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you have some experience with tweaking, wrestling, extending, stripping any of these, or with one I missed, I&#8217;d be thankful for your input.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There isn&#8217;t much news on the localization tool front that I started at MozCamp in Berlin, but I&#8217;ve got some more questions for the web tool guys among you.
