Hi Folks,
Status update. The simple jekyll plugin I wrote works, with a couple of
known issues. It will allow us to use our existing transifex translations
unmodified (something I don't think we were going to get out-of-the-box
anywhere). It depends on the ruby gettext gem. The site still needs some
massaging to match the transifex strings, but you can see the translation
work for parts of /about.de/ which is automatically generated by the
plugin. For each locales/${LOCALE}.po there will be a ${PAGE}.${LOCALE}
file generated.
Tomorrow (saturday 12-17) I'm going to fix the known issues with the
plugin, and QA the translation tags to ensure our translation keys match
what is already translated (I may consider automating it using the existing
site generator, we'll see how obnoxious it gets). I'll also be implementing
a language selector UI.
The source code is at
https://github.com/Ademan-laptop/freenet-website-redesign though beware the
history is ugly, I will be cleaning it at some point, but I wanted to be
sure to update before the weekend. Obviously with the plugin dependency it
is no longer viewable on github.
Thanks,
Dan
