https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Zanata_removal
== Summary ==
While most Fedora project migrated to Weblate, the old translation platform
still exists and needs to be removed (the community shouldn't have to go to
multiple place to contribute, and nobody assume Zanata maintenance).
== Owner ==
* Owner: the [[L10N]] group ({{fpchat|#fedora-i18n}})
* Primary contact: [[User:jibecfed|Jean-Baptiste Holcroft]]
* Email: [

localization mailing list]
== Detailed Description ==
<!-- Expand on the summary, if appropriate. A couple sentences suffices to
explain the goal, but the more details you can provide the better. -->
We created a migration page to follow projects migration from Zanata to
Weblate: [[L10N Move to Weblate]].
Remaining projects should either: migrate to Weblate or move to another
translation platform.
== Feedback ==
Weblate configuration: unless your team knows Weblate, Jibecfed will do
first configuration and make you admin of your project so you can add more
components.
Pull request support for Pagure: it is unlikely this features lands in
Weblate before Zanata removal. Suggestion is to allow
https://pagure.io/user/weblatebot for commits.
Some project requiring Sign-off:
https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/admin/licensing.html#signed-off-by
Reducing translation impact in your repository:
* you can configure weblate's components to save po files without any line
number, saving many useless commits if you do frequent pot updates
* you can configure weblate's components to squash commits per author to
limit the number of commits
== Benefit to Fedora ==
This makes the distribution more efficient:
* translators have one single place for translating, and get many
interesting features (alerts, comments, etc.)
* newcomers can directly translate without approval
* maintainer have less automation to do (po updates, etc.)
* reduce complexity (all in one place) & infrastructure costs
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: continue to answer questions from upstream projects and
translators
* Other developers:
** if we created a ticket for you, answer it. It may require you to change
your l10n/i18n automation (likely) and git repositories (unlikely).
** if not, open a ticket to l10n team: https://pagure.io/fedora-l10n/tickets
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9537 #9537]
* Policies and guidelines: No
* Trademark approval: No
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
This impact upstream projects, not the delivered operating system.
Worse case scenario: less translations reach upstream.
== How To Test ==
Project is in readonly in https://fedora.zanata.org
Project exists in Fedora Weblate: https://translate.fedoraproject.org
Modification done in Fedora Weblate can be seen in upstream repository.
== User Experience ==
This improve the experience of users that don't speak English correctly
(90% of the world, source CLDR + Wikipedia) or not at all (80% of the
world, source CLDR + Wikipedia)
== Dependencies ==
None (this doesn't impact packaging)
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) No contingency,
Zanata won't be kept any longer, we already gave 6 more month to let
project migrate at their own pace to the new system
* Contingency deadline: none
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
* [[L10N/Translate_on_Weblate|How to translate on Weblate?]]
* List of Weblate file formats support:
https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/formats.html
* Weblate's FAQ: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/faq.html
* Weblate evolves fast, reading changes is interesting:
