I'm wondering if someone has a script out there that can take my Localizable.strings (english version) and using some free service like Google Translate automatically translate it any other language I specify. It would obviously have to be in the correct format. I could probably write this in a jiffy and post it on Github, but I'm wondering if something to this effect already exists?
Edit: Maybe I should clarify something for everyone who's been so pessimistic towards this. The only real text my app uses include single words like "close", "ok", "send", "left", "right". Google translate shouldn't have a problem with any of that irrespective of the language its translating to.
If there were such a script, you would be better off not localizing rather than localizing using something like google translate.
However, there are some good, inexpensive translation services out there. I personally use OneHourTranslation and have been satisfied with the results. I've also heard of, but never used, iCanLocalize, which has a streamlined localization process that allows you to upload the .strings file directly and download localized .strings files.
I had my last iPhone app localized in 5 languages for $65 USD, which is ridiculously cheap. Why wouldn't you just use a translation service?
I wrote one a few months ago.

With recent changes to Google's translation services policy, its likely that it won't work anymore, but it shoudn't be too difficult to convert it to use Bing instead of google.

If so, how? If not, I am looking for a password manager that can do at least the following:
works offline even if the service is down, such that data is stored locally (KEY!) I want to retain full access and control.
securely stores notes, either to a website or general notes
has an effective form filler
syncs with other devices
uses end-to-end encryption
ideally works well with Firefox on macOS
I am aware of popular ones like LastPass, 1Password, and Dashlane. I haven't worked through all the details yet but I'm concerned with some of the breaches, some repeated, and periods of unavailability.
I have also used Roboform on Windows many years ago. I REALLY liked it because it could handle almost any type of sign-on scenario and forms with grace... but that was then. I've read they have since gone downhill.
So, ultimately, I am looking for recommendations from users with personal, hands-on experience as to which ones are easy to work with and capable. I need to manage hundreds of sign-ons, forms, etc.

Do you know any good tools to support the translation of .arb files?
It's a standard for Flutter and since Google Translator Toolkit will be sunset soon (https://support.google.com/translatortoolkit/answer/9462068) we're searching for a good solution to translate/gather our translations
Edit (June 2020): There's great new open source project called Arbify. This is a self-hosted tool to manage multiple translation projects focused on Flutter. You can edit arb files and fetch them via Dart package tool.
Aside from that some services like POEditor have announced basic support for ARB too.
At the moment the best support for arb files is on Localizely. However, this is a paid service and has strict limits on a free version. It allows to export arb translation files with plurals and placeholder support. It doesn't support genders, though.
There is also one simple web editor and one desktop editor (Babel) that support arb files.
Crowdin supports .arb:
https://support.crowdin.com/supported-formats/
It is also able to pull the data from a Git repo and send Pull Requests on GitHub.
However, when I used it in 2018 there was a problem of ##last_modified attribute being updated without any other changes to the translation files, causing lots of churn in PRs. By that time, they were reluctant to improve the situation (based on email conversation with their support), so we resorted to manual edits.
https://localise.biz/ allows 2000 translations. Which I assume are 1000 strings in 2 languages or ~666 strings in 3 languages and so on. Which is more than https://localizely.com/ 150 strings

I'm trying to create a book using a template (or just formatting in general) similar to the ones used with the Apple Swift Programming Language iBook.
I'm struggling with figuring out exactly what software Apple uses to create the book with such simple and clean formatting along with what they use to create the headers, coding samples, comments, etc (is it a special version of Markdown?).
My Google searches with "what apple uses to create books", "what apple uses to create api documentation", "apple software for dev books", etc. didn't really lead to much. The searches themselves might not have been effective either, so there's that possibility.
Regardless, I got answers involving RegexKit, HeaderDocs, and Gentle Bytes, and it didn't seem too relevant to what I was trying to do.
So then I did some digging into the main frameworks that build up the iBook and I found these files (there are more but the image only shows some).
Mainly xhtml files.
So really all I'm asking is what software does Apple use to combine all these files or did they use a different application that automatically combined them as they inserted them while creating the iBook? Do they even use iBooks Author or rather an internal application that's not available for download outside of Apple? OR maybe it's something that's not related to anything I said and I'm way off track.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Because it is an iBook I would assume that they used iBooks Author
After you created your iBook with iBooks Author, you can convert it to HTML, it will create many files then.

Anyone know of a system or framework for a non-programmer form creation? Not a full implementation, but something that handles the designer aspect and something that handles the displaying for being filled in. All the logic we'll be doing. Maybe just a pair of widgets.
We've got a client-server application into which normal users enter and modify data in a thick client and we want to allow the customers to update and create forms with another thick client application, rather than calling us every time they need a letter changed. We want something to do the display bits while we implement the various hooks and functions the system uses.
We're a java shop, but we expect that we're open to writing these clients in another language if it'll be easier.
Possibly Xopus with a schema for the XForm could work.
http://xopus.com/
Try searching for XForms libraries and tools. XForms is a new-ish standard format for defining forms and there are some libraries and tools available for it. Haven't tried any of these myself.
EDIT:
This looks interesting: http://www.orbeon.com/forms/builder
Well, you're a Java shop so this might not be the best tool for you, but from you description you look like a classic case for Infopath:

What I want is lots of nodes which can expand making a mind map.
I'd ideally like to expand and collapse nodes. I would like to be able to navigate by either dragging around the page, or by following expanded nodes.
I have a colleague who needed that kind of functionalities to graph Maven dependencies between projects. He ended up using FreeMind to do the visualization. He just had to write an XML file conforming to the FreeMind format. I even think you can just use OPML as the file format and find a ready to use XSLT to transform it to the FreeMind format. Maybe FreeMind actually supports OPML directly (I havent used it for a long time).
Once you have your data in FreeMind, you can either export them, or use the FreeMind applet to display an interactive MindMap on your website.
Suggest mxGraph.
Suggest protovis, lovely javascript cross-platform visualisation library.
I think you are asking for a component that does what Visio can do, except that it can be displayed on a web page. Most likely you would have to create one from scratch, because mind mapping tools are always released as products per se and not customizable components. I suggest looking for a basic drawing/illustration component, and then putting your mind-mapping logic in it.
