1. A method of network-based localization comprising:
- receiving, at a localization tool client, a plurality of untranslated files requiring translation to a target language from a first server;
receiving, from the first server, a first file from the plurality of untranslated files;
allowing a user to translate the first file to create a translated file via the localization tool client, wherein the first file has a file type, the file type is transparent to the user, and the localization tool client includes a media translator configured to allow the user to translate the first file by prompting the user to select the first file for editing, and thereupon automatically launches an editor corresponding to the type of the first file and saves the translated file in accordance with the file type, wherein the plurality of untranslated files are categorized for the user by device type, component to be translated, and the target language;
transmitting, from the localization tool client to the first server, the translated file; and
providing the translated file to a media player over the network, wherein the media player is configured to receive streamed media from a placeshifting device.

Abstract
Network-based localization is provided by submitting, on a server, a plurality of untranslated files requiring translation to a target language, and a localization tool client configured to communicate with the first server via a network. The untranslated files are downloaded from the server, and a user (translator) is allowed to translate the first file to create a translated file such that the file type is transparent to the user. The translated file is the uploaded from the localization tool client to the first server.

6. A localization apparatus comprising:
-
a localization tool client, including a processor, configured to communicate with a first server via the network, the localization tool configured to download, from the first server, a first file having a file type from a plurality of untranslated files, and to allow a user to translate the first file to create a translated file such that the file type is transparent to the user, and to upload the translated file to the first server, wherein the plurality of untranslated files are categorized for the user by a device type, a component to be translated, and the target language; a media translator configured to allow the user to translate the first file by allowing the user to select the first file for editing, and thereupon automatically launch an editor corresponding to the type of the first file; and a media player and a placeshifting device coupled to the network, wherein the media player is configured to receive streamed media from the placeshifting device over the network, and wherein the translated file is communicated to the media player. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of interlingual translation comprising:
-
receiving, over a network, untranslated files from a plurality of untranslated files on a server coupled to a network, wherein the untranslated files have one of a plurality of file types, and a target language; opening, using a media translator, the untranslated files such that the file types are not apparent to a user of the media translator; allowing the user to edit the untranslated files to produce corresponding translated files on the server, wherein the media translator is configured to allow the user to translate the first file by prompting the user to select the first file for editing, thereupon automatically launching an editor corresponding transparently to the type of the first file, and save the translated file in accordance with the file type, wherein the plurality of untranslated files are categorized for the user by a device type, a component to be translated, and the target language; transmitting, over the network, the translated files to the server; and providing the translated file to a media player over the network, wherein the media player is configured to receive streamed media from a placeshifting device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
