tux-translate will provide a web application and SOAP web service for querying a database of human language translations used in software applications. The translation database will be built using tools provided with tux-translate. The tools will support various file formats like gettext's PO format. The overall goal is to build a vast database of translations by loading in translation data from thousands of open source projects, and making the data searchable and publicly accessible. The system will maintain information about where each string came from and its licensing information.
