Found that you have a 1MB module to translate entirely by yourself if you want to use it?
Have 2000 text strings to think of technical terms for and type in one by one?
TRY THIS!
GTranslator automatic translator!. (the full JS is embedded in case you want to change it)
It will fizzle away your translation worries with one press of the translate button, into 30 languages, leaving you all happy and cheerful.
Actually it has issues still! its in Alpha stage. i have also made a thread on the forum, in case anyone has the JS knowledge to improve it.

Wow, it works!
I've tried to put a few POT files into the script to translate them to Hebrew, and unbelivably it works! And produces bareable results!
I am totally amazed by the amount of time it saves.

Hi, I've almost finished a new version of the translator...
the new version corrects all the font-based mistakes made by google translator, it throws out all the human translated strings so that only the untranslated ones are left in the file, to not mix up the google and human translations in a mish mash, and it can arrange all the translated strings by length, going from 10 character strings to 20, 30, 50, so the end file can be set from the shortest the the longest strings.
Wait for the complete version in a day or 2, it is much more accurate and fun! thanks!

here is a much more advanced version of the translator, it contains many major improvements compared to the original. copy to localhost and follow the steps to have a perfect translation.

Hi, I use http://OmegaT.org
OmegaT has not only built in (if you configured) google translate support but also: dictionary (for every word of your string), spell checker, glossar and translation memory.
Translation memory means all existing translations like other modules or even other programs like open office, all linux stuff and so on!
I recommend OmegaT very much (means i did not find a better tool until now ;-) )
Have a close look at https://wiki.impressive-media.de/sites/default/files/imagecache/Gross/sc...
right: text to translate
middle top: google translate
middle bottom: dictionary entries for each word of the string
right: similar translations form translation memory
and very efficient UI.
How does it compare to other tools, can it be improved?
Nice tool, indeed, but I
Nice tool, indeed, but I could not figure out how to use it until now. I exported the .po file and tried to save it and import again, but get the error message:
The translation file de.po contains an error: "msgstr" was expected but not found on line 535.
