"Better Localization: Active Open Source Translation Tool Projects" 

"While you keep talking about open source translation tools, are there any doers who are bringing such tools in real world?" (...) I don't intend to give a complete project list. I just chose some projects that might be interesting enough to people from localization industry based on two criteria
1. The features are useful for language service providers (LSP).
2. The development status is Stable or Mature. In other words, it is ready for real production use from the view of development cycle." (Welocalize)

MadCap Lingo

"MadCap Lingo, an XML-based, fully integrated translation memory system, eliminates the need for file transfers in order to complete translation. As a result, documentation and localization professionals no longer have to risk losing valuable content and formatting. Instead, document components, such as tables of content, topics, index keywords, concepts, glossaries, and variables all remain intact throughout the translation and localization process so there is never a need to recreate them.
MadCap Lingo offers an incredibly easy-to-use interface, complete Unicode support for all left-to-right and double-byte Asian languages, and a rich list of features for assisting translators throughout the localization process-including a built-in translation memory system and support for Google's translation service."
