N2 - In this paper, we propose the collaborative construction of language resources (translation memories) using a novel browser extension- based client-server architecture that allows translation (or 'localisation') of web content capturing and aligning source and target content produced by the 'power of the crowd'. The architectural approach chosen enables collaborative, in-context, and realtime localisation of web content supported by the crowd and high-quality language resources. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only practical web content localisation methodology currently being proposed that incorporates the collaborative construction and use of TMs. The approach also supports the building of resources such as parallel corpora - resources that are still not available for many, and especially not for underserved languages.
