Localization professional and developer here. I'd recommend taking a look at Transifex. This is a well thought out tool for managing localization projects and assets (prompt catalogs, resx files, etc), and for managing the translation process (it supports machine, crowd and professional translation, so you can optimize for cost and quality). They also just released a really neat Javascript tool which makes translating web content super easy. You just embed some JS in your template, and it re-writes the pages in translation when needed. Way way easier than, for example, setting up a multilingual Drupal site, and in most cases, will get the job done nicely. My $0.02

I use Excel XML spreadsheets (so I don't have to write my own tools) as tabular stores for stuff like I18N, item lists, and so on, but a way to actually manage translation has generally eluded me. Never heard of Transifex before but this'll help me out with my own gamedev.

  Transifex has largely become a standard for large open source projects that need string translation (think Openstreetmap and LibreOffice large). I bring up OpenOffice because they have used Pootle, which was the alternative for years and I always found it so-so. But people with more experience can pipe in.

I'd recommend against Transifex. They were originally an open project, but ended up going proprietary and abandoning the open version, causing problems for various projects that depended on it. Take a look at some of the alternatives, instead, such as Zanata (http://zanata.org/ http://zanata.org/).

"My $0.02" Why do people feel the need to write this after their posts? Were you afraid it would not be clear that it was an opinion? What purpose does it serve? Why did you go to such length to write it as "My $0.02" rather than "My two cents", or just "My 2c"? It seems to be some kind of "thing" that people do here. Is it an in-joke?

  I think you take it way too seriously. Relax.

    I'm not angry about it or anything. I just don't get it - is it supposed to be a joke?

      'My $0.02' - For when 'IMHO' isn't enough.

How does the JS version affect SEO?
