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

Icehouse release note translation?
by Akihiro Motoki 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, When Havana release, some language teams translated the release notes. Is there a language team who is translating Icehouse Release Notes [1]? Japanese team is now translating the release note [2] and it is almost completed. Once it is available, I would like to add a link to the translated page as we did for Havana. I am not sure the way we use is best or not, but it works so far. [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/Icehouse [2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReleaseNotes/Icehouse/ja Akihiro

Including the final : with strings
by Douglas Fish 02 May '14

02 May '14

There is a bug and associated code review open for Horizon regarding how to handle the trailing ":" on some messages: The Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1296075 The Code Review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/84342/ The bug and existing code advocate removing the final ":" from strings that have it for consistency. While I understand the need for consistency, I just got a request from a French translator to do the opposite implementation. The translator for French shared with me that including the punctuation as part of the translatable material makes it much easier to create a correct translation. In French, a space is expected between the final word and the final punctuation, including a colon. When the translators are looking at "Image Details:", its much easier from them to recognize where the space should go so they can create "Détails de l'image :". Without the colon as part of the message its hard to know if they should add a trailing space or not. What's the feeling from the i18n community about how we should treat the final punctuation on our strings? Doug Fish

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openstack/language/<lang> links broken
by Tom Fifield 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, The latest update of Transifex broken the links to the language team pages showing all resources. eg https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openstack/language/id used to show all of the things you could translate into Indonesian. These were really useful, since they provided a "home" for the particular language team. So far, I haven't been able to find an alternative to this, so we will need to send people to specific projects eg manuals or horizon. On the API side of things, we probably need to make the following change: - “outsource”: openstack, + “team”: 670, Regards, Tom

Looking at the api-site project, I see that some teams have done great progress and translated 100 per cent. Congratulations! API-Quick-start: French, Spanish API-Guide: Chinese, German Unfortunately, the API Guide is not ready to publish (in English), so this allows us only to publish the API-Quick-Start. I'll setup some jobs to publish these soon so that the teams can review their work and we can decide how to link them from docs.openstack.org, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

django_openstack_auth translation setup?
by Andreas Jaeger 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hi translation team, I'm trying to fix some more translation jobs and run into a issue with the django_openstack_auth setup. django_openstack_auth setup looks broken, the job fails to run since it expects: django_openstack_auth/locale/django_openstack_auth.pot but the repository uses: openstack_auth/locale/openstack_auth.pot I can fix this but need a bit of guidance here. Where this should get added for translation - will this be a resource in the horizon project in transifex - as it was in havana? And is the name django.po for the LC_MESSAGES file really correct in the repo? Btw.

Re: [Openstack-i18n] [horizon] contextual-markers for better translations
by François Bureau 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Hello all, Today, we have talked with Yves-Gwenaël about this e-mail. He didn’t' received any answers and I think we need to discuss about it. I would like to know one thing, if we change a marker for a string are we going to lose the related current translation ? For example : currently I have somewhere month = gettext("May") So in transifex I have a string May I have translated in "Mai" (in French) If tomorrow you change into the code month = pgettext("month name", "May") Do we lost the translation already done in Transifex ? Or is it just going to add the context in the string already translated ? If we lost the translation already, for me adding the context into already translated string is a bad idea. We are going to lose too much work. And in this case the context markup has to be used only for new strings. I prefer to keep the legacy for old strings. Thanks a lot for your answers :) Best regards, François Bureau Responsable Centre de Contact E-mail : francois.bureau(a)cloudwatt.com Mobile : 06 40 76 18 01 http://www.cloudwatt.com ----- Mail transféré ----- De: "Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis" <yves-gwenael.bourhis(a)cloudwatt.com> À: openstack-i18n(a)lists.openstack.org Envoyé: Lundi 14 Avril 2014 17:13:27 Objet: [Openstack-i18n] [horizon] contextual-markers for better translations Hi all, I noticed that translating to certain languages requires some compromises in both grammar and syntax to often have a deceiving result...

Some work was already done with https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1253678 But contextual-markers need to be added to many translatable strings. The issue about changing translatable strings to contextual translatable strings implies redoing all those translations. Do not PANIC :-) , the current translations will remain as is for Icehouse, the impact of using contextual-markers will be for Juno. My concern is that many other languages than my 2 native ones have a richer syntax, so I may not be aware of all possible contexts required for other languages to be properly translatable. Concerning the example I gave in https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1307476 any comment on the "context" you would need to help you make a better translation will be welcomed, and I'll need your feedback on what context "you" need and in which place in the dashboard, in order to help you make the best translations.

Japanese Translations publishing?
by Andreas Jaeger 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Looking at the great work the Japanese team is doing, I wonder why the High Availability and Security Guides are not published on docs.openstack.org. Should I make the changes for these documents? Any other documents I should publish? Note we do not need to add links to these manuals, we can just publish them as is and see that everything looks fine.

Horizon translation status update
by Akihiro Motoki 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hi all, Thanks for your efforts of Icehouse translations. I would like to share my plan for Horizon translations both for Havana and Icehouse and know your opinions. [Havana] After Iceehouse is release, the last update of Havana (2013.2.4) is planned [1]. As far as I checked Transifex translations, a couple of languages have updates since Havana 2013.2.2 (released Feb 13). IMO it is better to import translations for the last coming Havana update. Thought? [Icehouse] As we did for Havana stable updates, we have a plan to import translations for each stable Icehouse update. The first two stable updates are good chances to update our translations. [Juno] Juno translations of Horizon are now marked as "translation is not accepted" to avoid confusions. I will remove this restriction once Icehouse is released. As you may know, it does not fit for translations as many changes will happen in the next half year. INSTEAD I would suggest to report issues to Horizon if you feel difficulties during translating for Icehouse or have improvement requests. (Of course this list can be used to discuss these topics too.) The exact dates both for Havana and Icehouse will be determined after the next OpenStack Summit is over. [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StableBranchRelease#Planned_stable.2Fhavana… Thanks, Akihiro

Important notice about Horizon translation
by Ying Chun Guo 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello all Now Horizon RC1 is shipped. The source codes of Horizon in git repository will be switched from master branch to icehouse branch. Our translation resources will switch as the same time. If you look at the resources of Horizon, you will notice there are 3 resources with a prefix of "Icehouse", and 3 resources with a prefix of "Juno". Now we are working on the translations for Icehouse release. So the resources we are working on are: - Icehouse - Horizon JavaScript Translations: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/horizon-js-translatio… - Icehouse - Horizon Translations: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/horizon-translations-… - Icehouse - Openstack Dashboard Translations : https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/openstack-dashboard-t… The resources for Juno release are marked as "not accept translation". Please pay attention to it. @ French, Korean, Chinese (Taiwan ) and Portuguese translation teams: The translation of "Icehouse - Openstack Dashboard Translations" are not 100% completed. It is caused by the update of source po file. Please take a look at it. Thanks and regards Daisy

[Ironic] [i18n] Testing translations
by Devananda van der Veen 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

For those interested in translations, I'd like to jot down a few notes from the last few days' work to get i18n'd strings into Ironic before our RC. Hopefully some of this will be helpful to someone out there -- it's been a learning experience for me :) Quick background: - the project was set up with transifex a while back - folks have been translating our strings on transifex - jenkins has been regularly proposing updates to ironic, which we've accepted However, late last week I noticed that none of the ironic/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/ironic.po files had any actual translated strings in them. Some digging revealed that there were two problems: * most of the .po files had somehow gotten malformatted (duplicate blank messages). We now have a tox check to prevent this. * the file timestamps were newer than the translations on transifex. Easy work around is "pull --force". Manual fixes for both of these have landed in Ironic, and longer-term fixes have gone up for infra and some other projects. To determine whether or not this was successful in enabling translated strings in Ironic, I had to learn a few things about babel and gettextutils, but there's still a lot more catching up on the whole i18n discussion that I need to do. This morning, I confirmed, in fact, our LOG messages are getting translated based on the system language, if the correct locale's .mo file is found in the appropriate system path, or that path is overridden with the IRONIC_LOCALEDIR env var. At the moment, Ironic's API strings will also be translated based on the system language, not on the Accept-Language header. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1300939 I've jotted down some notes on how to recreate an environment which reproduces this without needing to package and install ironic. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/TestingTranslations It also seems that we're not programatically testing whether translation works or not. Maybe there's a good reason this hasn't been done yet... but after spending a couple days getting it to work in Ironic, I would like to add a test to our gate so that I know it stays working. I'm not sure the best way to go about that, but I hope someone who knows more about tx/msgfmt/babel/etc can look at my notes above and suggest or get something going from that. Cheers, Devananda

Ironic's .po files contain only blank msgstr's
by Devananda van der Veen 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hi all, I recently noticed that none of the ironic/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/ironic.po files contain any translated strings, even though Jenkins is routinely proposing updates. I looked a bit further into this, with a few pointers from Clark, and it seems that the jenkins translation job is erroring out. It claims there's a duplicate message, but I haven't been able to figure out why. I've filed a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1298645 For quick reference, here's a link to the errors that we think are the cause of this issue: http://logs.openstack.org/periodic/ironic-propose-translation-update/6aed39… Then, today, I noticed that the same error also shows up in Nova and Ceilometer's recent jobs. Here's an example from Nova. http://logs.openstack.org/8d/8df565d39cd3216bde8488e656957a49dd6949fa/post/… I could use some help figuring this out. Since folks have been translating strings for Ironic, I'd really like to be able to include that work in our Icehouse release :) Thanks much, Devananda
