What I have in mind is a mechanism which would allow Koha users to go in Administration, and request a specific language for their installed Koha version. For example, I run Koha 3.22.1. I go in Admin > WUI Language. I select a language. I see a list of .po versions for this combinaison (Koha version / language) ordered by reverse date of publication. I choose one of them, and install it. The .po files are downloaded. Templates are recreated.
With this mechanism, if the Koha Data Sharing Server (KDSS) is synchronized once a day with Pootle, I can modify my language translation on Pootle, and 24 hours later download and install the last language version. The translation files are not anymore in the tarball. It looks like that: Pootle | <synchro> | KDSS | <Update PO> | <Koha Servers> The Pootle server is used by translators. It can't serve directly translatations to Koha servers for performance reasons. A proxy repository is required (KDSS). Once a day, the language repository can be updated with Pootle last translation files. If those files were placed in a Git repository, we would have also performance issues because the branch containing the requested version by a Koha server would have to be checked out. It's also impossible to serve two simultaneous requests for different Koha versions. I would rather have a file system arborescence storing zipped .po files per Koha version / language / date of publication. Or using a data store like MongoDB GridFS... But enough idle talk... _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
