Zanata is an online system for managing localization projects. Localization is the process of translating software interfaces or documentation into the various local languages used around the world.

Zanata allows a software developer or a documentation writer to provide their strings, have those strings localised into specific target languages by a community of translators, then retrieve the localized strings to build a localized version of the software or documentation.

The Zanata server implements a REST interface for pushing and pulling source and translated strings, an web-browser based translation editor, and a server-wide translation memory for translation reuse.

Cross-platform Zanata clients are available written in Python and Maven.
