Dear Language enthusiasts of Wikipedia,
We've been developing a translation app in parallel to ContentTranslation for some time with the same aim, to allow easier content translation across Wikipedias. For us, a main motivation has been a concern about smaller languages, so we think it is a good idea to gather knowledge and focus on the results of them. Of course this initiative is meant only to complement ContentTranslation, and it is our hopes that apps like this could popularize translating to Wikipedia as an activity also for non-wikipedians.
Anyway, I'm not sure how well advertised this initiative has been so here goes: http://translate.keeleleek.ee/ Have a peek.
We're looking forward to any comments and ideas you may have. We see it as a common goal, and hope to be able to contribute to it in our small way.
Many thanks!

Thanks for joining the discussion. I had some questions on the project's talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/Kruusam%C3%A4gi/Minority_Tra... , which is linked from the main page on the topic https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_translation#Attempts . I'd like some updated answers to my questions of 2014, which are still valid.

Thanks, Nemo I have written my response below. Happy to discuss!
Purodha, I'll contact you soon on the bug. That shouldn't happen.
Thanks for the input, Peeter

Hi Peeter,
i have downloaded the Windows version and got it started up to the point where preferences can be set, and languages be selected. But choosing articles is mainly not working. I got the text of one out of three languages, it does not scoll, and I cannot type translated text beyond the page title.
