Is (or: in what way is) Parrot comparable to Smartling, https://www.smartling.com/ https://www.smartling.com/, a commercial SaaS offering for localizations/translations of all kinds of content?
At my current project, we're integrating with Smartling for both content in a CMS as for web application internationalization (including translation, localization). Smartling provides a nice (and well-documented) API as well to submit, retrieve and manage translation projects... and a number of 'connectors' for some big CMS applications for synchronizing content and translations hence and forth. Your project looks like a worthy competitor (while being self-hosted)... nice job!
- amzans 10y agoParrot is more of a tool for managing your translations and distributing them (via REST API), while being self-hosted and open-source. I haven't looked at Smartling in depth, but seems cool! After reading a bit about it, one feature that differentiates it would be the "Marketplace of professional translators", Parrot does not intend to go in that direction :)
