Switch to itstool for docs translation?
by Shaun McCance 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi all, I've been working on switching the docs translation infrastructure over to itstool. This affects openstack-manuals, operations-guide, and api-site. The current tools are based on xml2po, but they don't call xml2po directly. Instead, they import xml2po and mess around with its internals to get some custom behavior. itstool is designed to handle custom behavior with rules from the W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS). You can see the ITS I put together so far here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91869/3/os_doc_tools/resources/openstack.i… Using ITS also allows us to do local ITS attributes to override the behavior for specific elements. See a simple example here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91872/1/api-quick-start/src/docbkx/api-qui… Most messages in the PO files will be the same. The one big difference will be in how placeholders are done when there's a block-level element inside a block-level element (a practice I discourage anyway). Blueprint and some patches: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+spec/itstool-for-docs https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/itstool-for-docs,n,z I'd like to get input from translators, as well as any other docs folks who've worked on this. Most of the document translations are incomplete anyway, but it would nevertheless be best to do this at the beginning of a release cycle. -- Shaun

Scheduling a Pootle demonstration
by Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi everyone, I work on the OpenStack infrastructure team and we're planning on supporting your team with whichever choice for translations tool you decide upon. There was just a Zanata demo this week, and I've reached out to the Pootle project at Daisy's request to organize a similar demo some time next week. The individual from Pootle who has volunteered to give the demo is in the UTC+1 time zone and has asked for some timing proposals from the team for when we can attend a demo so he can check his schedule and we can settle on a time. Suggestions? As a reminder, the infrastructure team set up a demo site for Pootle last October, details about this demo site can be found here if you wish to poke around: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-i18n/2013-October/000209.html Thanks. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com

Another ending punctuation question
by Douglas Fish 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

We have a couple of Horizon code reviews that are representing the same translatable string is 2 different ways. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/102897/ and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/88246/ in the horizon/templates/horizon/common/_resource_browser.html part It would be great to get i18n feedback on which way is easier to translate that segment. Thanks! Doug Fish

Re: [Openstack-i18n] [openstack-dev] [nova][i18n] why isn't the client translated?

forwarding I18n Team. -- About.me 부터: Matt Riedemann mriedem(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com 답장: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) openstack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org 날짜: 2014년 7월 1일 at 오전 12:02:41 에게: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) openstack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org 제목: [openstack-dev] [nova][i18n] why isn't the client translated? I noticed that there is no locale directory or setup.cfg entry for babel, which surprises me. The v1_1 shell in python-novaclient has a lot of messages marked for translation using the _() function but the v3 shell doesn't, presumably because someone figured out we don't translate the client messages anyway. I'm just wondering why we don't translate the client? -- Thanks, Matt Riedemann _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev(a)lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

speed up translation workflow in transifex
by Carsten Duch 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hello, I'm quite new in the translation-team so I have a few question regarding the workflow with transifex. I’ve found a lot of untranslated phrases with only slightly changed text. So to speed up the translation, it is rather easy by simply changing the existing suggestions. To speed up the translation process, is there a way to do a combined searchquery within transifex like the following example? translated: no AND has suggestion: yes AND suggestion rate: > 80% Another problem while doing translations is that I'm sometimes unable to translate it correctly because I'm missing the original context of the phrase. I could open the original documentation in another browser-tab and search manually for the phrase, but that's not really efficient. Any suggestions? Thanx! Carsten
