We did the comparision and finally POEditor and Localise.co left. We discussed about both, you can watch recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yO0DyxpwLYZ90nYHJKpMJmYQifL5a36O/view?usp=sharing

Quick notes:

we summarized the requirements
talked about GitHub integration -> needs to be confirmed by Jakub (resp.: István)
we saw a quick demo about
POEditor
Lokalise
we made a decision: let's get started with Localise and get experiences with it
leed to check Likalise licensing and get free enterprise access to FOLIO (resp.: Mike, Suzanne will provide contact for him)

: Yes, I'm working on this. We will meet today and talk about who does what and what is the status of this issue.

and talked through options on this today. We think that the Weblate might make sense as an OLF-hosted service. It seems to natively handle the JSON files described in (and it seems like POeditor does not), so we wouldn't have to do a translation from JSON to PO and back again. BitNami offers a preconfigured installation for AWS, which will make maintenance easier.

Proposal

will stand up an instance of Weblate on OLF's AWS account and set up integration with two or three GitHub repositories. Findings on that would be passed to the DevOps SIG for ongoing support considerations, and the web interface can be tested by a couple of subject matter experts to provide translations. We can then make a more informed decision on whether we want to follow this option or look at other options.

: I see this issue is assigned to you with an "In Progress" status. Are you working on this now? If so, could you give us a report on where you are? If not, would you mind if I assigned the issue to me and worked on the proposal described above?

Hello,

i've added one idea, that it could be useful to Folio :
https://discuss.folio.org/t/multilingual-micro-webservice/1626

In terms of formats to implement, my experience goes to .po files(https://poeditor.com/), which has a good support in open source community or json files

Thank you
Rui
