<p><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Hi, I18n team</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">One year ago, when the community was making the decision to use Transifex as the translation management tool,</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">a table was made to compare several different tools: </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqevw3Q-ErDUdFgzT3VNVXQxd095bFgzODRmajJDeVE&usp=drive_web#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqevw3Q-ErDUdFgzT3VNVXQxd095bFgzODRmajJDeVE&usp=drive_web#gid=0</a></font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Now since Transifex began to close its source code, we will do another round of tool selection</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">to find the translation management tool for Openstack translation.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">We will start from requirements collection. Here I listed some.</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">(Some are copied from the old table. The last three items are newly added. )</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">* Cross-project translation teams</font><br>
