ENLASO releases open source localization tools for Okapi

The growing array of open source tools available to translators and localization professionals got a little bigger recently, when ENLASO Corp. began to port a set of its localization tools to the open source Okapi Framework, which is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Okapi, which runs on Windows .Net but not on Mono, includes three applications: Rainbow, a .Net application that provides a graphical user interface to Okapi's utilities and filters; Olifant, a .Net application for creating and managing translation memories; and Tikal, a .Net console application for executing utilities from a DOS command line. Okapi was originally available as freeware, and made the move to open source in late 2005.
