Pootle is an online translation and localization tool. It works to lower the barrier of entry, providing tools to enable teams to work towards higher quality while welcoming newcomers. Pootle is written in Python using the Django framework and therefore can be installed on any web server that supports serving WSGI applications. A number of translation projects for a number of languages can be hosted on Pootle. Teams can manage their files, permissions, projects, and translate on-line. Files can be downloaded for offline translation. Pootle is released under the General Public License, version 3 or later. See the LICENSE file for details.

Pootle is a software platform for localization of applications' graphical user interfaces, as opposed to document translation. Pootle makes use of the Translate Toolkit for manipulating translation files and offline features used to manage the translation of LibreOffice and Gajim in Pootle. Pootle has built-in terminology extraction, translation memory, glossary management and matching, goal creation, and management of users.
