| 3 | Virtaal is a graphical program for doing translation. It is meant to be easy |
|---|
| 4 | to use and powerful at the same time. Although the initial focus is on software |
|---|
| 5 | translation (localisation or l10n), we definitely intend it to be useful for |
|---|
| 6 | several purposes. |
