Some issues with the article

[edit]

Is Pootle a computer assisted translation tool? It doesn't have TM, it doesn't do any kind of fuzzy matching or match propagation, translators have no control over glossaries, and there is no context search or reference search feature. Pootle uses a computer, sure. But the only way it assists translators is to permit them to translate -- well, that's hardly "assisted" translation. -- leuce (talk) 10:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it is. Maybe pootle changed (much?) in the meantime, but since some years it already offers a terminology, which allows for assisted translations. Also fuzzy matching is done; Pootle enters the matched texts marked as "unsure". And editors also can update the terminology, if they were given the right to do so. --88.130.91.246 (talk) 13:03, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CATIA references?

[edit]

The article says "Pootle was first developed by David Fraser while working for Translate.org.za in a project funded by the CATIA project." but none of the CATIA newsletters from its four years of existence mention Fraser or Pootle or Translate.org.za. CATIA's web site no longer exists but here is its latest version in the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20070117142810/http://www.catia.ws/ -- leuce (talk) 11:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
