Project summary
This is Google Summer of Code 2010 project which attempts to implement Transifex client application for Maemo which caches strings locally and submits them whenever possible. In addition it could have capability of editing local translation files which would broaden usage cases for this application.

Progress
Since Tx guys are behind with their schedule for string-level API, I just used HTTP requests and regular expression matching to fetch the information I need. Current implementation works with Transifex.net deployment.


 * Logging into Transifex, session management, CSRF tokens - done
 * Browsing projects/components/files/languages - basically done
 * Pulling PO-files, caching them locally, pushing PO-files back to server - done
 * Editing PO-files (via polib), Google Translate, update PO-file metainfo - done
 * Opening and saving local PO-files - done
 * Qt4 models and views - done, but need improvement

To-do

 * Do caching properly so after pulling files user could edit them offline
 * Make Transifex interface pluggable so string-level API could be dropped in easily afterwards.
