[I18n] Zanata status + call for volunteers on Weblate migration
Hi all,
First, thank you all for contributing to OpenStack with globalization by contributing translations, coordinating translations with artifacts, and making sure that those translations are shipped with releases to all over the world (we are calling it I18n - Internationalization).
While OpenStack I18n could be healthier with the tremendous help from translators as well as many OpenStack upstream contributors & teams such as infrastructure, release management, and documentation, the current translation platform we are using on https://translate.openstack.org relies on Zanata, an open-source translation platform which upstream activities were stopped [1]. Currently, there are several issues reported - most things have been resolved while it repeats / worses as time goes:
- OpenID authentication issues for new registration users on translate.openstack.org [2] - Translation job failure issues since Zanata client did not work with a newer Java / job compatibility issues with Python versions [3] - Missing translation jobs for Xena/Yoga stable versions on Zanata [4]
Considering the situation, to solve the root cause of the situation, I am calling for volunteers on Weblate migration. The detailed activities would continue from what the previous I18n PTL already investigated, identified, and documented to [5] [6]. There would be diverse work items with developer perspective as well as translators and operators. Hope that there are many volunteers to move forward.
Meanwhile, I updated the "Translations & Priority" part on https://translate.openstack.org homepage. Note that stable versions are minimized to Horizon and dashboard projects, and ping me if there would be lots of translation work especially during R-3 to R-1.
Looking forward to an enhanced open source translation platform landing soon with OpenInfra.
With many thanks,
/Ian

Hi Ian.
Thanks for letting us know the situation.
I'd like to volunteer on Weblate migration.
