The factorization can be seen in the phrasebook example under /example/phrasebook.

Investigate the Internationalization API of Facebook

The current GF Grammar Compiler API is providing translation services that can be called on-the-fly. The goal of this task is to find out how to integrate them to an existing API where there is a need for Internationalization, example Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/internationalization.

The image shows how translations are entered manually in the current version. My guess is that we could improve on that.

Anther example is the situation of commonly used sentences: "Happy birthday", we have on our Travel Phrasebook, we do not have Portuguese, we could friends-source it :) but how? Give them a FB app?

Love to see some comments on this.

BTW, I am not partial to FB, you can check any social network of your liking that provides an Internationalization API. This is a test of concept also looking for CNLs in the wild :)
