Nomino is an OpenStreetMap editor which specialises in place name translation.
http://nomino.openstreetmap.fr/
Why?
In OpenStreetMap, place names (name key) are written in the local language, and most maps display this name. Although roman characters are used in most countries, there is variety of other languages with their own alphabets; the map of China or Russia is illegible to a French person for example. It is possible to specify places names in any language you want with name:*=* keys. Toolserver's localised maps are good examples how maps can be rendered in a given language. It is possible to add name:*=* attributes with JOSM or Potlatch, but these tools are not really efficient for this task.

Translate
Localisation in Nomino consists in two parts: string translation with gettext, and user documentation.
Gettext: you can create a PO file (default.po) with Poedit, and translate every string.
In conf.php, add a new entry in the list of locales
public static $UI_LANGUAGUES = array('fr'=>'fr_FR.utf8','ln'=>'ln_CN.utf8');
ln is for the two-letters language code, CN for the country code. For instance, the name of a German locale would be de_DE.utf8. Poedit generates a MO file automatically from the PO file. Add default.po and default.mo, in the suitable folder:
locale/
fr_FR.utf8/
LC_MESSAGES/
default.po
default.mo
doc.php
Documentation: The user documentation is stored in a PHP file. The English version is in the doc.php file. Copy the file in folder where your PO file is stored, and translate the documentation.
