13.1 Organization
=================

   For some software packages, each translator works on her own and
communicates directly with the developers of the package.  For some
other software packages, on the other hand, translators are organized
into _translation projects_ and _translation teams_.

   A _translation project_ applies to a group of software packages and
shares procedures and methodologies regarding the translation.

   There are currently three major translation projects:

   • The "Translation Project", which is used by all kinds of Free
     Software packages, but in particular by GNU packages.  It has its
     home at .

   • The "KDE Localization Project", which is used by KDE packages.  It
     is at .

   • The "GNOME Localization Project", which is used by GNOME packages.
     It is at .

   A _translation team_ is a group of translators for a single language,
in the scope of a translation project.
