Can somebody explain in short form why we use vertaal and not pootle for translating management?

I use Vertaal because I know and like the developer >;-) Seriously :-p I'll explain. When we, the Spanish translation team started, we had no active coordinator. We organized ourselves listing every single file in an opensuse wiki page, marking there when each person took responsibility for a file, and the phase each of us were doing. The wiki handled collisions. Not all of them had cvs access, so they mailed the .po file when finished to one of the two or three people with commit access, and we uploaded it to Novell's CVS. It was a lot of work, bazaar style. :-) Then Gabriel developed a webtool that automated a lot of the process, called "poat". The next year he developed "vertaal". During this process he has been very responsive to almost all my whims O:-) (I suspect he is as responsive with everybody else), so I'm very, very happy with the tool. It works perfectly with our style of work, as our produce demonstrates. I'm biased, but the tool is used by more teams, so it is obvious that it is a good tool. I have not tried pootle, I don't know what it does, but from what I read in the wikipedia, it is very different. In fact, both tools are not comparable at all: vertaal is mainly a coordination tool, whereas pootle seems to be an online translation tool. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
