On Wed, 20 Feb 2008 Till Tantau submitted the new

translator

package to CTAN.

Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/translator License: lppl

Announcement for the package: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The translator package is intended to provide an open platform for packages that need to be localized. Unlike the babel package (which can and typically will be used together with translator), the set of words that can be translated is not fixed and new words and translations can be added in a simple manner. New translations can be added in a decentralized manner.

The package is written in completely LaTeX and it is quite lightweight. It could very easily be ported to plain-TeX or ConTeXt, provided there is a public demand for this.

A typical application of this package is the beamer class, which already uses it, if it present. Then words like Theorem will be translated to Satz if the document language is German, for instance.
