= Translation platform migration to Weblate = == Summary == This migration was decided at Flock 2019 in Budapest, it is mandatory as development and maintenance of Zanata — the previous translation platform — ceased in 2018. More information are available here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-localization-platform-migrates-to-weblate/ Link to release process is to make sure the information is spread across all dependent projects, including Documentation and Websites. == Owner == <!-- For change proposals to qualify as self-contained, owners of all affected packages need to be included here. Alternatively, a SIG can be listed as an owner if it owns all affected packages. This should link to your home wiki page so we know who you are. --> * Owner: the [[L10N]] group (#fedora-i18n on freenode) * Primary contact: [[User:jibecfed|Jean-Baptiste Holcroft]] * Email: [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/tr...@lists.fedoraproject.org/ localization mailing list] == Detailed Description == Make sure all existing Zanata project have been informed (upstream ticket created) and that all priority packages have migrated. We created a template for [[L10N_Move_to_Weblate/Message_for_upstream_project]]. The [https://fedora.zanata.org/version-group/view/PriorityPackages list of priority packages is defined in Zanata], it contains websites, anaconda, dnf and many others... == Benefit to Fedora == First objective is to lower the risk of having no translation platform if Zanata crashes. Second objective is to provide a suited tool for localization community to be part of our processes again: * be closer to upstream activity by directly interacting with git repositories ** this also lower upstream requirements to interact with our translation platform (no dependencies required as it interact with git repos) ** this helps upstream to see localization contributions ** this allows translator to get notification when new strings * be able to localize our documentation (we decided to make it compatible with Weblate directly) * the tool will [https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8291 publish on Fedora messaging] ** allows community statistics ** allows badges creation == Scope == * Proposal owners: Open a ticket for each upstream project. * Other developers: answer the message for upstream project and eventually create appropriate git repositories: {{admon/important | Questions to answer by upstream |{{:L10N_Move_to_Weblate/Message_for_upstream_project}}}} * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8947 #8947] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A (this change impacts our processes, not our deliverable) == How To Test == For projects using the translation platform: make sure translation commits are part of the release included in Fedora 32. Example for DNF: * Open the DNF git repository * Find folder containing localization file (usually the '''po''' folder) * Look at commit history and search for, commits will start with: "Translated using Weblate" ([https://github.com/mike-fabian/ibus-typing-booster/pull/57/commits/3ffccedc89436077890b08a566274316102b4577 example with French language on ibus typing booster] == User Experience == No impact. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Localization team will keep using Zanata * Blocks release? Yes, if websites and priority packages do not use the new translation platform. * Blocks product? Yes == Documentation == [[L10N Move to Weblate]] -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
