Resource-First Translations

RFT is the next generation Translation User eXperience built upon the insights of the SharpDevelop project. It has the following goals:

• Code-First: Developers live in the IDE and work directly with resource files. Source control is the source of truth for resources.
• Multi-Branch: Translations come and go with features being added, modified or removed. Translators should never duplicate work.
• Multi-File: Complex software doesn't ship with a single resource file only. Slice your application into modules and still get the benefits of translating only once.
• Sync: Automatically get the latest resource file checkins to the translators, and the finished translations to the developers or the build servers.

Translator credentials: translator, translator
