Hello Joe, You're right, this is a topic that gets regularly discussed. A year ago, Osma started a thread [1] about sync'ing with upstream, with follow-ups in February [2] then May [3]. I think we should really take the necessary time to work at least on these points:
1. Manage DDL to be able to access Transifex in order to translate from within the running live environment, with a new translate button in the menu, that would open the web brower on Transifex :). As Transifex is using more and more Javascript, we might have some troubles though, with the old version of Epiphany in DDL 2.1. Updating to Debian Wheezy/Jessie would solve this kind of issue anyway. 2. Write/fix scripts that can download PO files automatically from upstream projects then merge them into our Transifex project. I wrote such script years ago but I think it wasn't working as good as expected [4]. Trials needed! That said, as I should have written in one of the previously highlighted threads, ideally it would be better for everyone to have a single translation platform for upstream and downstream (distros). This would also allow upstream projects to share translations between them. 3. Write scripts that update a running DDL live, from Transifex. This is not that complicated because the work is already done, for the purpose of automatically fetching all the Transifex translations [5] and porting them to our SVN repository, in order to build updated language packages [6]. The work would mainly consist in copying the required files into the live environment and changing the target of the scripts (and probably modularizing them and/or write new ones). If you feel like helping merging from upstream, I suggest you have a look at the existing script [4] and try to make it work at least for tuxpaint. Maybe Osma can work with you if he's still interested in helping translators (and I can give additional explanations whenever needed of course). You would need to get the "lang/" SVN tree: $ svn checkout http://svn.gna.org/svn/doudoulinux/lang/trunk/ lang then create a file "fetch-url" [7] for tuxpaint, that tells from where to download upstream PO files (raw file access required). You can use the script "translation-report" [8] to get a visual status of translation scores for a given resource and check upstream sync really improved things. Cheers, JM.
