by Ying Chun Guo 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Hello, all The translation for Juno release has been started. In this release, we focus on the Dashboard translation, i.e. Horizon. If you want your language pack to be shipped with OpenStack Juno, please join the translation work. We especially need translators in the following languages: German, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, Serbian, Hindi and Russian. The translations of these languages translation have made good progress, only around 800 strings left. If these translations could be finished by Oct. 2nd, these language packs could be included in Juno release. We use Transifex to manage the translation. Here are the translation resources that need translation: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/openstack-dashboard-t… https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/horizon-translations/ https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resource/horizon-js-translatio… If you are a member of your translation team, just jump in and translate. If you are not, you need to register an account in Transfiex and request to join your translation team. If you have any problems with the translation, please send an email to openstack-i18n(a)lists.openstack.org. The whole I18n team would be there to help. Thank you. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

Comments for translators in Horizon source codes
by Ying Chun Guo 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Hello, all It looks like Horizon developers write many comments in their codes to translators. According to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/i18n/translation/#comments-for…, these comments should show up in the po files. Yet I checked English version po files and found no comments there. I think the problem may be caused by the po file generation method. Is there anybody who would like to look into this issue? Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

"sell puppies" and "sold puppies" in Horizon
by Ying Chun Guo 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hello, all If you are translating Horizon today, you may notice two new strings appeared in "Juno - Horizon translations": "sell puppies" and "sold puppies". Don't worry about the translations of these two strings. They are just for testing. You could translate them as usual or just copy the English version there. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

I've got an rc1 bug which adds a new warning message to the logs, it's not a user-facing error message change so I figure this is safe for string freeze - can someone confirm? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/123811/5/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py -- Thanks, Matt Riedemann

Horizon translation check site
by Akihiro Motoki 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi I18N folks, I can have time to setup a new translation check site of Horizon. The URL is unchanged and only the password is changed. http://157.7.133.23:13580/ Username: demo or admin Password: i18n-juno Note that a new machine only has 16GB disk due to VM. Please make sure that only small volume 1~2GB x ~2 can be created. I would like to know who uses the Horizon translation check site in the past and current releases. I am not sure how many people use the site and it would be a good information whether we need this kind of site as OpenStack infrastructure. Thanks, -- Akihiro Motoki <amotoki(a)gmail.com>

Some more required changes in translations.
by Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi all. We have some pending patches here: https://review.openstack.org/121842 https://review.openstack.org/121879 https://review.openstack.org/121913 https://review.openstack.org/121957 https://review.openstack.org/121962 https://review.openstack.org/121972 These patches are *needed* to properly handle the translations in all languages, however if we merge them now you will have some extra strings to re-translate before the release. Please give all your feedback to know if you can handle them in the shortcoming, or if we have to wait before merging. NOTE that these changes allow you to properly translate the strings on the action buttons in Horizon. Thanks. -- Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis

[Keystone] String Freeze Exception for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121246/
by Morgan Fainberg 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

A release blocking change[1] is adding a new exception for handling a case where there are multiple SQL configurations in a multi-domain setup. This is a case where the exception makes sense as there are no current exceptions that cover this specific error in enough detail. Bringing it to the attention of this list per the wiki [2].

[nova] string freeze exception/fyi for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/121916/
by Matt Riedemann 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

This [1] changes an error message that was super generic to have more context and is a problem we were seeing in the gate. Since the Nova PTL was one of the +2s on the change I'm assuming he's OK with the change. Bringing it to the attention of this list per the wiki [2].

Allow translators to translate BatchActions
by Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Hi all, I reported a bug concerning the way strings where conjugated on action buttons here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1307476 The issue is that automatic conjugation works in English, but may lead the impossibility to have a properly translated string in some languages which have different and more complex conjugation rules. I made a patch to fix this here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91338/ However, not all strings are fixed in this patch, only a few ones, and I kept the legacy conjugation method not to brake all existing strings on the action buttons at once. This patch will allow developers to progressively change strings on action buttons per translators request, to strings which can have proper translations. I also added contextual markers on instance actions or status. i.e.: "Shut Down" could be an action to perform, or an instance status, which is the same string in English but different in many languages, this patch allows differentiating them. Could it help to have a test catalog on Transifex based on this patch to have translators feedback on the change brought to the strings? The translators could give feedback to know if translations are improved. Also translators could ask for more strings which they could not translate properly before, to be migrated to this new translating method on action buttons as new (dependent) patches. Also, how fast do translators want all the existing "action buttons" and "status" strings to be migrated to this method? If all are migrated at once we would lose a lot of the currently existing translations on action buttons and status (even though they are not properly translatable) and they would have to be translated again. So adding patches progressively could bring smooth changes. This is where translators feedback would be interesting to know if: - The changes allow translating properly? - They want smooth changes on action buttons to translate progressively, or want a complete fix right now because to many buttons can not be translated properly? - They want changes in other places too where they can not currently translate properly? Thanks -- Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis
