Mission Statement
Adapt It is a free open source translation editor that is used to quickly translate between related languages. We seek to create, as a community, an application that will run on all major platforms and facilitate translation of USFM, and collaboration between other translation tools such as UBS Paratext and Bibledit.
Stated Goals
Adapt It is created with the following goals in mind:
- Facilitating adaptation (translation between related languages).
- Facilitating the translation checking process, a secondary use case.
- General ease of use. Many of our users are mother-tongue translators with limited computer expertise.
- Cross-platform capability. Adapt It is available for Windows, Linux and OS X.
Implementation Details
The code for this application is hosted on GitHub. You can browse or download the source code here: https://github.com/adapt-it/adaptit. Adapt It is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
The code is written in C++ using the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library. More information about wxWidgets can be found here: http://www.wxwidgets.org/
