Hi,<BR>
the website itself is an English site (sorry), try<BR>
<A HREF="http://librarything.com">http://librarything.com</A> instead. Or I guess they have also<BR>
<A HREF="http://fr.librarything.com">http://fr.librarything.com</A> ...<BR>
<BR>
The link I sent was a translation platform of a certain page: they<BR>
seem to atomize items and invite their registered people to submit<BR>
their translation for each item. Some atomization / separation of<BR>
choice how words are grouped seems wrong, but it is fairly common ways<BR>
in localization of softwares (try Special:AllMessages on your favorite<BR>
Wikipedia).<BR>
<BR>
If you are non-English version on their website, untranslated part<BR>
will be given in English, yellow backgrounded. You can 1) submit your<BR>
translation which seem to be reviewed before being published or 2)<BR>
evaluate each atomized unit in a binary way (good or bad). The second<BR>
feature, evaluation, we do not have on Wikimedia translation or<BR>
Mediawiki localization yet, and I would like to incorporate for years.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
