Hello everybody Together with Oskar Fonts we reactivated and transformed the geoserver_test into a real master branch project which will be synchronized for the origin properties (additions) to transifex.
However, for this project we set up extensions and community modules as well. As a logical step we uploaded the available translations initial to transifex. In addition I created an ant script to synchronize the translated properties back to a git clone. It checks the environment (transifex configuration, transifex client tool as executable or in python environment) and can be parameterized: * to download only a specified language (e.g. "-Dtx.language=de" for the German translations) * to download only reviewed properties, all others are not in the properties files (e.g. -Dtx.mode=reviewed) Next steps: * changing the maven configuration for properties files (maven-resource-plugin with encoding set to ISO-8859-1 (see also "see also"-section at http://help.transifex.com/features/formats.html#java-property-files) setting for these GeoServerApplication*.properties) * (optionally) changing the root pom to define a profile which executes the synchronization process from transifex into the working copy --> I guess this should not be executed automatically * Test the build WAR-Files in several environments (win, mac, linux) different language settings * create a developer documentation page that describes the basic steps, * how to setup the environment (python, transifex client, etc) * how to invoke the synchronization process * how to initially setup a new language from existing properties files not translated at transifex * how to review translations * investigate how to handle different release branches with a single project setup at transifex (at the moment we have 3: 2.1.x, 2.2.x and 2.3.x which is the master) All this cool stuff is not in the main repository at the moment. Whoever likes to try this and improve the scripts can check it out right here: https://github.com/fgdrf/geoserver/tree/gs-transifex Current changes : * build/gs-transifex.xml (which is an ant-script, description how to use it is in the header) * .tx folder with transifex config-file * src/web/core/pom.xml (transition from antrun plugin- which replaced build variables - to maven-resource-plugin which does the same in addition to keeping the encoding) @Jeffrey : interesting to see the a CI-Job synchronizes the translated and reviewed properties back to git. @All: I'm not sure how we can deal with conflicts, if developers changed properties in their native language as well, or even core developers changed all language file to remove odd properties). I guess I would prefer to have a manually process right here, where "Language maintainers" can take over it when a release process has been started (e.g after the first RC) @Chris : could you help us writing a gsip, I guess Oskar prepared something already. About the translation status and which properties are transfered I'm not pretty sure : On the one hand it looks not very consistent for the (end-) user/admin if we have mixed languages (origin and native) but on the other hand a "everything or nothing" could scare translators if they don't see their work has been integrated if a 100% status would be required. This in mind it would be great to have the proposed feature from Andrea in the UI to switch between languages!! AND to add a link to the footer of each page, like "Missing translation or have you seen any error : please contribute" with a link to Transifex or even the GeoServer Translation Guide page @Stefan: Thanks for your hard work on getting German to the 100%. I started reviewing and added some translation to the glossar. I guess we can discuss this separately. Everybody who reached this line is warmly welcome to give any feedback. I'm and I guess Oskar and all the others would appreciate your suggestions and comments Thanks in advance Frank 2013/1/1 Stefan Engelhardt (HBT) <stefan.engelha...@hbt.de>: > Hi list, > I am the "bad" user who pointed Andrea to the Transifex translations. > > I hope that the way back from Transifex to GIT works fine in near future > because I now finished the missing part of the German translation. > > Perhaps someone feels free to give me some comments about the > translation quality.
