[babel-dev] web translation tool

hello,

I've been happily playing with the new web translation tool for last couple of minutes and it's really amazing.

I really like how you organized navigation, the idea seem intuitive and tool is very responsive.

what I missed most:
a) a kind of scratchpad to store some common vocab - to keep consistent way of naming things like "Launch configuration", "Debug", etc. btw, I haven't realized how much words doesn't have any reasonable native translations :| b) search for other similar entries. Sentences happen to repeat frequently, but it's easy to forget how you translated the same sentence last time (that's an alternative to a)) c) some entries should not be translated (eg. PDE, JDT, etc.) - it would be useful to mark them specially, to don't go back to them later. d) it would be good to track the overall progress per file/project/language eg. by displaying percent done. But I guess you're already thinking about that. e) nice enhancement would be a separate page with random string and input field. This way one could add it to bookmarks and get there fix one or two translations every hour or two. Later on it could be used the same way to verify existing translations.
f) files like *test*, build.properties could be skipped
g) "Eclipse.org" could be automatically skipped (it's in every file)

good luck Babel!
