Excellent plan. Thank you.
+1, yes Thanks for the work.
Some small remarks
the process on the pootle server might still run. But if they are only
snapshot the pootle work.
The complete process did never run stable on the machine, mainly because
the translation toolkit available was version with error.
Translating files from SDF to pot or vice versa have been done local, on
different machines.
I exported the translation repo to
https://github.com/apache/openoffice-translation, it holds both sdf and
pootle files.
step *Publish the PO files* in an ASF git repository. They are already
committed to git nightly on the Pootle server; push that repository
somewhere public.
is done. Maybe needs an update. (i need to check, maybe that is easy.
btw creating that again from script is not easy. i had to mess with the
repository before i was able to commit.)
Maybe it make sense to seperate sdf from pootle in separate repos. I am
not sure where the plan wants to store language packs and localized
resources.
Imho the block integration script needs to be also on the weekly
download side. And it should not be a volunteer dependand step. If we
need that it would be make sense to have that on the import side of the
translation server, bevor it breaks.
The translation process broke because there were issues that did cause
issues for translators. the process from the translation to wherever we
want to store language sdf files are not as critical, since we can test
language files bevor release.

Mostly for my own education, I've created what I hope is a useful guide on how
our Translation Process works. It can be found at:

I've also asked some LLMs to assess the flow and suggest a
migration/improvement guide, which I've coalesced into:
