XWiki 4.4 introduce new translation macro which will allow to find easily translated content in a page when using annotated HTML5 renderer (you can see the result by adding ?outputSyntax=annotatedhtml in the URL).

The idea is to use that and provide a "translation mode" where you can directly select and translate what you see in the page (when the translation macro is used). The idea is also to make easy to contribute to http://l10n.xwiki.org from your local wiki by sending your corrections to it.

Various ideas for the look and feel of this feature:

• https://pontoon.mozilla.org is very nice
• http://direct.hoplahup.net/tmp/Drupal-translation-ODS.png
• https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Translation+Assistance+Plugin

Location where to code this: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-translation

• mostly javascript and dom parsing
• always better to know a bit of Java with XWiki
