The Drupal.org site family just got a new member: localize.drupal.org. While it also helped pioneer single sign-on on drupal.org, its core goal is to highly simplify the localization of Drupal projects. As a central installation of the Localization Server project originally sponsored by Google Summer of Code, it is set up to offer text from the source code of projects released on drupal.org for translation on a web based user interface. It replaces CVS and the cumbersome release scheduling that was required to be done previously.
Drupal rocks, we all know that. But for non-english speakers (french users in our example, but this is not restrictive), whereas a basic drupal installation in their language is now a basic, when it comes to "can't live without them" modules, UI is often only in English. When a big institutional customer has to benchmark different CMSes, this can plague drupal.
