Re: [translate-pootle] transfer .po files
Hi Chris, Couple more questions 1) you mentioned about placing the pot file in /po. I have pootle installed in /usr/local/pootle, where do I place that pot file for my install? If I put the lang specific .po file in /usr/local/pootle/po/proj name/lang and do a 'rescan project files' I can see it show up. But I have not been able to generate the .po uses using the .pot. 2) In the pootle UI, under the 'files' tab for each project, it has a 'update files from templates' button, where does it read the .pot from? I assume this creates .po from .pot 3) Did you guys have something that hookup git and pootle? I don't see there is a 'commit to vcs' link anywhere. The user I use has the permission to 'can commit to version control', but I just don't see how to enable it in pootle Thanks, Mason On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 6:38 PM, Chris Leonard cjlhomeaddr...@gmail.comwrote: On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 8:30 PM, Mason Leung rhymeje...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Chris, Thank you very much for the info.

I got these steps based on reading the helper files, does it look similar to what you guys do in sugarlabs? Thanks, Mason I think our workflow is more like this. 1) An activity devloper (Sugar labs term for owner a git project) creatred a new project in git. Here is an example: http://git.sugarlabs.org/abacus They are requested to follow Gnu formatting for git structure, meaning the PO directory (/po) can always be found in the same place. at the top-level of the projectrepo. http://git.sugarlabs.org/abacus/mainline/trees/master 2) The activity developer does two things. They generate the POT file and place it in the /po directory and they grant commit access to a special suer called pootle. http://git.sugarlabs.org/abacus/mainline/trees/master/po 3) After creating the POT file and placing it in the /po directory, we ask the developer not to mess with the .po directory to avoid loss of synchronization. From this point on, Pooltl essentially controls the /po directory without any intervention from the developer. Steps 1-3 are developer actions 4) The POT file is added to the 'Templates language project. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/translate#Adding_activities 5) The language admins (or the Poolte admin) can do an 'Update from Templates via the Poolte UI, which causes the new POT from Templates to be created as a PO file in a given language project. Any subsequent Update from Templates is a merge operation on the PO file, the existing translations are merged into the new template derived from the POT in the Templates language. 6) The localizers do their translations, the lang admin reviews and then commits the translated PO file using Commit to VCS link on the Translate Tab in Poolte. 7) The special gituser: poolte is essentially a proxy who's commit priv is borrowed by language admins (granted commit priv in Poolte Admin UI). See for example the git commit logs here: http://git.sugarlabs.org/abacus Where the Polish language administrator Jakub committed the lang-pl PO file for abacus by selecting the Commit to VCS option, which appears for him in Pootle because he has been granted commit to VCS priv (for lang-l) as a lang-admin for lang-pl. We do not automate this commit to git because we believe it should be an affirmative action by a human reviewer, not a machine's call. During the period of time before the commit action by the lang-admin, the translations in the PO exist in Pootle, but not git. (Your point #2) Points 4-7 are actions taken by Pootle admin (or lang admin) 8) We do however automate the process of updating the POT files in the templates language (the potgenerator script) This means that when the developer adds a new string, it is added to the POT in the Templates language by the script, ultimately propagated to the individual languages by Update from templates actions. 9) For localization testing purposes, we take the PO files (the ones commited to git, I think, not the ones in Pootle) and we generate the .mo files as a part of self-installing scripts we call language packs. Steps 8 and 9 are performed by the scripts. 10) Under normal circumstances (a developer's build or release generation), the .mo files are generated from the git-committed PO files in the git project's /po directory. Does that make sense? cjl
Re: [translate-pootle] transfer .po files

Re: [translate-pootle] transfer .po files
Installed svn and checkout the .po files, added a new project in /pootle/po/my project name. I use pybabel to extract and init the .po files and those don't have translation. I can't really tie the 2 together conceptually. 1) say I have new translation in the .po files, how do I merge it into pootle? The only way I see it is, there is a translate tab to upload file and probably merge the file and turn conflicts into suggestions. Is that the way to do it? It looks really manual. 2) the parts that talks about version control, does that mean there is a git repository that I can put the .po file?

Re: [translate-pootle] transfer .po files
Hi Chris, Thank you very much for the info. I read through the sugarlabs pages and want to see if this setup makes sense 1) there is a git repo that store all the translated .po files 2) pootle holds it owns set of .po files locally 3) translators update the .po files, a cron can merge those files back into git 4) a cron do pull from git and generated the .mo files for pages to use 5) a cron extracts and create new .po files from pages and does a merge with the existing .po files on pootle Repeat step 3 to 5 nightly.

Is there a way to pull this using git? Absolutely, Sugar Labs (and at least a few other Pootle users) employ a git as backend. Our is technically Gitorious, I think, but it is close enough. We employ some fairly simple scripts run as cron jobs that do things like check the git repo for updated strings and pulls new string that have been entered, we have another one that generate language packs nightly for testing, etc. etc. Maybe looking at those will give you a few ideas. http://git.sugarlabs.org/pootle-helpers I'm nott really a git guru, but one of my colleqageus wrote up this documetnation on how we maintain the interactions between our Pootle instance and our git repo. Agian, maybe it will give you some ideas. If you still have questions after reading that stuff, I may or may not be able to answer them myself, but perhaps someone else on this list can, or I can try to pass it along to my git guru, who is a busy guy and currently bouncing around Peru from village to village as part of an effort we are collaborating on.
