I though about it and it's the only user friendly way I can think of.

We could but it as you say it will be better to have this file in
another repository.

Would it be very complex to expose some page with a form with those 3
informations to not have to ssh to the server ?

Or at the very least automate the executing of the script when
something is added to the file and pushed on
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-dev-tools (or move weblate stuff to a
dedicated repository to have less false triggers).

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Importing translations to Weblate

[Adel Atallah]

Hello devs,

I need your opinion on how we should import new components (i.e.
translations) into Weblate .
Weblate allows you to create components directly on their platform but it
will be very difficult for us to so because we would have to run an import
script to generate translation files and then fill in many error prone
information.
So what I was thinking of was to create a script which will just read a
file where each line contains:
1. The component name
2. The base translation file path (english translation file)
3. The repository url
It will then create or import the component automatically based on these
lines.
The downside is that you'll have to modify a file each time you want to
create (or delete) a component and you'll have to execute the script from
the server.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Adel
