I'll probably use that tool instead of writing my own. saves time, and that tool already does probably everything I need anyway. @Mickster – nice catch!

It's used for crowd sourcing translation. For example, Evernote is using it to translate its products. Haven't tried it myself, so I'm afraid I can't give you more details... Also - maybe the Facebook way can give you some ideas: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/29/facebook-spreads-its-crowdsourced-translations-across-the-web-and-the-world/ Regards, Mickster Hi Kae,

That plugin will be able to read the original database. My plan here is to develop the system on my CMS, which already uses KFM for quite a few different things. In the beginning, KFM2 and KFM1 will both exist on the CMS, until KFM2 is at a stage where I can remove KFM1. They will both connect to the same database. Yes, Safari compatibility will be included. The GUI will be completely rewritten, and tests will be created to ensure that everything works well on everything. In fact, there will be quite a few different GUIs. Some full-on, like the current KFM application's main window, and some tiny widgets designed to just to simply things, like select a file, upload a file, select a directory, etc. Hi Martin,

We like to use your file manager. 1. will the new version work with the old db? 2. will the new version work with Safari? Thanks, M. Hello Kae,

that’s great news. We like to use your file manager.

1. will the new version work with the old db?

2. will the new version work with Safari?

Thanks,

That language translation thing sounds like a brilliant idea but could potentially be an entire project in itself. I would be surprised if there isn't a website out there already that does the same thing. If not it could be a potential cash machine! Doing it in a modular way is a good idea because, for myself anyway, I wouldn't want to have to add 3megs to my furasta package size for just a few features. It means more independance for the programers, and it should be faster as well! There are some great ideas in there but it also sounds like a hell of a lot of work!
