Translating HTML / XML documents?


Basically, I’m wondering how it’s done, besides on-the-fly translations like those provided by babelfish.altavista.com or Google’s language tools. No automated tool is as good as a human expert in the languages involved.
I’m not asking so much for an actual tool as an idea of how a UI for a manual translation tool might be designed. Basically, I’d want to have some (preferably XUL) UI that would guide the developer using it through a translation process

  1. Before drawing the UI spec, you need to know the design requirements. A few things I think computer aided translation software should have:
    1. An easy way to track how terms and headings are translated.
    2. Ability to see the original text
    3. Outline mode, ability to quickly jump between sections
    4. Customisable dictionaries/thesaurus
    (From Alex: Thanks. I was rather hoping you knew of tools out there we could safely emulate, at least in the UI.)

    Such domain-specific tools already exist in the closed-source world. I have a friend who is a translator, and she has bought software which helps her using various dictionary/autocomplete features.
    If you want to design an open source document translation tool (why would it need to be browser-based?) then it might be good to find someone with an existing tool of that sort and look for inspiration.
