I have an App that is translated to four languages. I find that updating and maintaining the strings files extremely tedious.
Is there a way to edit different translations side by side similar to what IntelliJ provides:
(source: jetbrains.com)
I would also be happy with a simply MS-Excel to Strings conversion script, where the Excel would be the master and the .strings files would be generated.
These apps saved me from a world of hurt. There's no guide, so you'd have to figure it out yourself. The apps are free though and very well designed.

My company use a tool called Localization Helper from Mac App Store. I reckon it's pretty good.
How about Linguan?

I'm new to the world of Mono and GTKSharp programming, having come from using visual studio on Windows it's a refreshing change to develop on Ubuntu using MonoDevelop.
I would like to find sites that I can contribute to and learn from, I have written a small class that implements some very easy to use dialog boxes such as a messagebox and filebrowser etc and would just like somewhere to share my code and get critique / input from other developers, and who knows maybe even help some people along the way.
This is my first post on stackoverflow so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The Mono mailing lists would be a good point to start.
You want the Gtk# mailing list.

I'd like to create a flowchart/map visualization of how my project works, what is the best software available for this purpose? I'm not looking for something to do it automatically, I'd like to manually create the flowchart.
This is for a project done in Objective-C if that helps/matters.
OmniGraffle is pretty good. It even creates class diagrams from an Xcode 3.x project.
Other web applications that do this, that are not already mentioned:
draw.io, is free and uses Google Drive or Dropbox for storage (including Google Drive Realtime). I co-founded this.
Lucidchart is native JavaScript, like draw.io.
Creately and Cacoo are Flash implementations, although Cacoo are moving away from Flash.
Aside from my obvious bias, I would suggest Lucidchart or Gliffy (mentioned above).
If you (a) like gliffy and (b) want a desktop-based app that does the same thing, take a look at yEd. Supports BPMN and traditional flowcharts (as well as myriad other drawing notations). Nice and easy to use, cross-platform. Oh, and free :-)
hth.

I would like to know if there are any tutorial websites for learning PyObjC apart from the home page of the project itself. I'm enthusiastic about being able to use python to develop native code and be productive without learning how to program in some of the other more traditional compiled languages. Anywhere I could get a screencast or good beginner tuts would be excellent.
You could start with Will Larson's stuff. You could read the Apple docs and do the temperature conversion thingie. You could do what I did and get Hillegass's book and then do the examples using PyObjC. You could read my stuff. I have lots of simple examples, but I'm just an amateur. You don't need to worry about Objective-C yet, but if you stick with it, you probably will.
And you really must learn that case matters.

I recently got interested in web development coming from kernel based applications. I am curious to what the best development environment and language that one can use to build a nice looking website. I have a distant familiarity with PHP, CSS and the like but I am comfortable with HTML.
To be perfectly frank: it doesn't really matter.
As long as it produces useful HTML, CSS, and perhaps JavaScript, you can have a beautiful website (and you can also produce bad websites!). The development environment is purely a matter of taste for the programmers.
As long as you are disciplined and attack the project with a plan, know a good designer or two, and have the will power to see it through till the end, you'll be successful.

I am using WIX at the moment, but keep on running into limitations (such as ability to expand properties as the value of another property). Also not sure if I ran into a bug with the FileSearch element, because it is not working as expected (does not find a file that is definitely there). I can go the route of using custom actions built into a dll, but was just wondering if there is a beter way.
I think the best tool (maturity, features, documentation, easy-of-use) is currently AdvancedInstaller. I'm not usually recommending commercial tools but this one is really good value for money.
They also have freeware edition for basic needs.
I have been using Installshield almost a decade by now.
