Updated templates with translations can be now found at https://github.com/alexminton/packages-i18n, please move accordingly =)
Generated templates are in 50-pot
Tools to generate templates and merge the translations are in 50-tools

The package-translations package is waiting for your review at https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/424294
It still points to SVN instead of git, but includes fresh translations (which were not updated for several years) cause the most important part is to test the translations delivery to user. So it makes sense for me to see if Tumbleweed will include the updated translations and switch to git after the repo is moved under openSUSE namespace and delivery is tested.

the yast repo has rpm-groups.pot. I guess it should be created as part of the package translations:

Why? It is created in yast tree and used by yast package manager, so no benefit for moving to package translations.

it's not created by YaST at all. The current version is really old and of unknown origin. We could extract the group list from actually existing packages. Or, we create it based on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_group_guidelines and accept that some packages don't fit. I don't think we actually enforce groups.

Well, I can easily generate the required pot file from packages data. However, it is not obvious for me what to do with this file after creation. Should it be pushed to yast rpm_groups or vice versa the translations should be merged to packages-i18n project?

I've changed the translations source to github, please accept https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/432471

Atm we'd need to put it into YaST git, yes.

Stanislav, could you take a look at https://github.com/openSUSE/packages-i18n to check what needs to be done to connect with weblate?

It looks ready for connecting.

I wrote a script for the initialization.

I decided to use a single project with many components, as splitting to domains is just artificial. Translated string will be shared across letters.

https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/packages-i18n/

Were there any other community translations of other languages? I see only 16 languages.

User opensuse-i18n has not push permission. I do not have permissions as well.

Please fix and allow push and add Weblate hook.

Note: The project is unbelievably huge. Just only parsing of https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/packages-i18n/texlive-specs-master/ takes several hours. Full parsing of the whole repository requires half day of the current Weblate server machine time.

Yes. Suggestions to improve welcome :-)

Btw, are you sure the import worked correctly? German patterns
claims no translations but it is translated.

I have no ideas to improve. I am just thinking about amount of effort needed to translate 8.9MB of text. 1,283,118 words!

The import was finished just now. Please check again.

Scripts that were used to create initial Weblate import:
https://github.com/openSUSE/packages-i18n/commit/a86a28bc43797d38e454a2b4b937eb2e2fab7623

(More general version of those in yast-translations.)

They will be needed for a future SLE import.

Alex, https://svn.opensuse.org/svn/opensuse-i18n/trunk/lcn also has patterns.*.po file. They are more complete than what could be found in the packages svn. What do you think about merging those po files, overriding the package version?

Actions #25

Updated by Minton almost 8 years ago

Ludwig, I see absolutely no problem in doing so, but also I don't see any sense in doing so.
patterns in SVN were created in 2013 and are terribly outdated, even though contain 133 unique (Novell/KDE4/SLE/proprietary related) messages
However, most current pattrens extarcted from Tumbleweed and Leap 42.2 have 47 unique messages (mostly KDE5/Qt5 related).
Also, number of languages in LCN and Git differ drastically, I don't have a solution for this currently.

Actions #26

Updated by lnussel almost 8 years ago

For the languages where patterns.$LANG.po exists we could try a merge though, right? At least for German there are quite some strings translated that are still valid also for the git version of patterns.de.po

Actions #27

Updated by Minton almost 8 years ago

OK, then I will just merge valid translations from SVN to current git version as one-shot action — no changes to source strings. This should solve the short term issue of some SVN translations missing in Git.
Longer term issues like getting other patterns for translation (like, SLE-related if needed) and preserving SVN translations for currently missing strings and languages still require some solution.
