Hi,
We currently only update the master branch with the newest translations
from Transifex through a Jenkins job.
Mostly people come around and complain about missing translations in the
release while it is in Transifex correct. Then someone (mostly Volkan
'wakeup' Gezer) takes the time to backport those strings. This isn't a
good solution and is quite time consuming.
Ideal solution: Transifex supports branches
Nearly ideal solution: It would be nice to extract the string not only
from master but from all maintained stable branches and master and then
combine them. This would allow to fix even changed strings that aren't
anymore in master. This needs an advanced extraction tool.
Working solution: Volkan wrote a tool[1] where you can specify the
updated strings (once a PR with string changes got backported) and those
will be pulled from the master l10n files and you can create a patch for
the stable branches. Currently he collects the strings in a file and
will backport the l10n just before the next release on a stable branch.
Maybe we should introduce a label for PRs that were backported and
changed strings to make it easier to find the changed strings. Then you
only need to go through them and be able to backport new stuff.
What are your thoughts about this?
