maven, i18n and xliff

[ml...@planwerk6.de]

Hi folks,

does anybody know of a maven plugin which supports translation process of 
properties files and jsp?

I did some research on this topic:

The best open source tool around for translating seems to be OpenLanguageTool, 
it has nice filters transforming source to xliff, has a translation memory 
(tmx) and can backconvert to the original file. But it is has a rather 
strange gui instead of cool command line. Another tool is omegaT+

I guess many maven projects need translation and a workflow to translate new 
stuff. it would be nice to have a plugin which does transformation of jsp and 
properties to XLIFF, translate XLIFF with existing TMX to generate translated 
jsp/properties in target directory.

Does anybody know of a tag library with a tag like spring:message which offers 
the user to translate the token if it is not already translated? This would 
be a nice feature in a web2.0 world, when the user just can click the tokens 
and tranlate the app into his favourite language rather than waiting for the 
developers. It would be handy if such a tag saves the translation advice to 
database, let someone optionally approve the translation, and let maven 
access this databse for the translation memory to generate the new files on 
next deployment.

Is something like this available? If not, how do you manage your translation 
process with maven? 

kind regards,
janning
