move yast translations to git
Added by lnussel over 8 years ago. Updated over 7 years ago.
100%
Description
YaST translations are in a separate svn directory right now:
https://svn.opensuse.org/svn/opensuse-i18n/trunk/yast/
pot files and translations for all yast modules are collected there. Until the yast team decides whether and how to change the setup in the future, the repo should be moved to git and the tools adjusted accordingly.
The yast2-trans package should use a _service file to get the translations from git then.
Current workflow:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:YaST_translation
Checklist
- import svn into git repo
- clean up and adjust tools
- move to githubb
- hook up to web late
- create jenkins task to generate and upload pot to GitHub
- create API tools for mass download, upload, adding weblate branches etc.
- Improve Group ACL or add it to API. Adding thousands of rules manually is not acceptable.
- Project/component removal API/CLI https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/1092
- Add possibility to digest notification mails https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/1046
- add support for branch disconnection and branch privileges https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/868
- Too many git commits in suggestion review process https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/1116
- Display exact changes date https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/1170

maybe some github webhook could be used to automatically update the pot files whenever any of the yast modules gets new commits
Updated by lnussel over 8 years ago
any update on this one? yast translations are completely separate still so shouldn't be an issue with locking etc, right?

The migration from SVN to GitHub is the smallest step to complete this task.
The pilot project found several missing Weblate features that have to be be done before the mass migration.

yast translations are completely separate packages though, right? So SLE could keep using the old mechanism while opensuse moves to weblate

Unfortunately not. YaST in Tumbleweed and SLE12 SP2 come from the same code base. Just translations are different. Maybe they will branch in a late stage of development.
(It could be different in SLE12 SP3.)

Exactly. So for SLE yast2-trans can keep coming from svn using the old scripts and for Leap/TW we can switch to git already without hurting sle, right?

Well, yes, we can switch.
But it is better to wait until features above will be done, because:
Without API features, manual maintenance would be problematic (hours of clicking).
SLE translation merge could not start, as it would spam users with ~1 million e-mails, and git logs with hundreds of thousands entries.

You lost me here. What kind of maintenance do you mean? Shouldn't it
be sufficient to import the pot and po files from svn like we did
for e.g. slideshow?

Maybe notifications could be turned off if that's an automated batch
operation.
Where would the hundreds of thousands of commits come from? Wouldn't
the merge be a one-shot operation? Ie one commit in each language?

Even creating 50+ nearly equal tasks is a boring work.

Not sure whether ignored subscriptions are implemented.

Not in case, where one suggestion is accepted and another edited.

Could all pot files be put into one git repo?

If in doubt shut down the mail system on the machine and delete the
send queue :-)

How would that be avoided if we do the switch later?
I fear that keeping yast in svn for openSUSE is just confusing.

Yes, but it only changes contents of the clicking task, not the amount.

Yes, and then compose notification mails manually.

Improve a commit code. Either reorder changes before commit, or ignore authorship for suggestions commits.
I fear that keeping yast in svn for openSUSE is just confusing.
I hope that the problems above will be addressed ASAP.

Stanislav, do you have an update for us? Can we get someething util beta1?
Updated by mvidner over 8 years ago
The YaST team Scrum card for this is https://trello.com/c/QHneOJGp (currently in the team backlog).
Updated by mvidner over 8 years ago
I have created an empty repo https://github.com/yast/yast-translations and gave lnussel, sbrabec and tchvatal Admin access (you may want to drop your privilege level once the setup is stabilized).

github repo filled with translations imported from svn. So can be connected to Weblate now. The files still need to be manually updated if yast does string changes. Also, yast2-trans needs to be adjusted.

- Checklist item changed from to [x] hook up to web late
Updated by sbrabec about 8 years ago
Large amount of work was just finished:
1) Strings from the community were addded to the Weblate.
2) In case of incomplete community translation, string from contracted enterprise translators were added to the Weblate. (Review can be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/yast-translations-sle-contributions/ ).
3) Conflicting strings from contracted enterprise translators were added as suggestions with suggesting user "SLE Merge Robot". Please review and pick the best from both. Feel free to review, accept, delete, edit.
4) Community translations of yast-journalctl translations disappeared from the community branch, but they survived in the enterprise branch. They were resurrected and imported instead of empty translations in the current trunk.
5) Some translations had incorrect plural form (mostly "always use singular form"). It was fixed where it was required, however it will probably appear in the Git later, after the first edit in the Weblate. (It is possible to make mass fix.)

So with yast translations for openSUSE in git and weblate how far are we? Which ones of the checkmark items are still needed?
Updated by sbrabec almost 8 years ago
I am not sure whether Jenkins task for auto-import pot changes is already in place. If yes, we can close.
And whether auto-submit to Factory is in place.
From the Weblate side, everything is in place.
All other issues in the checklist are not YaST specific.

Who knows that? Jiri told me to talk to you

Who would be in charge of that?

If they are not needed for YaST can we track them elsewhere then?

This is already up and running since ~November.

OK. Closing. I will track remaining generic tasks outside this bug.
