Q: 

Crowdsourced Translation

I once saw a free translation management software that was used to publish the original software texts and allow translation to other languages in a collaborative way. Something similar to http://www.mtranslator.com/ but also allowed community driven additional translations.

I just cannot seem to find it again so I was wondering if anyone knows of it? Cheers

A: 

There are several projects in this direction with varying focus. Do you know http://globalvoicesonline.org/lingua/ for example?

Yup, i came across it when searching. However, it does not really fit the scenario I had in mind:1)let's say I have a website or a piece of software X in english2)I upload my XML with all labels and texts to the site http://Y.com/3)I add a link on my website X to the translation service, specifically to translate my website http://Y.com/X4)someone from Bolivia likes my software and starts using it5)they can always go to the URL http://Y.com/X and translate my website or software to Spanish or improve itI saw this online service Y somewhere and it kills me that i can't find it again...

The World Wide Lexicon Project may be what you're looking for. They publish a Firefox plugin for users to translate and correct machine translations of any site.

As a publisher, you can also request translations of your site. They also have an API.

Transifex is one such solution.
