Liberty translation progress report
by Ying Chun Guo 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Hi, team 10 days passed since we started Liberty translation. Now let's review the progress we made. 1. Horizon translations Till today, following teams have made amazing progress. Many thanks for their works. These teams could certainly finish Horizon translation on time. They are: Japanese 100.0% English (Australia) 99.63% French 98.61% German 98.51% Chinese (China) 97.56% Spanish 97.28% Turkish (Turkey) 96.76% Czech 96.55% Korean (South Korea) 96.0% Chinese (Taiwan) 95.12% Portuguese (Brazil) 93.13% Following teams have possibilities to catch the deadline too. They are: English (United Kingdom) 87.85% Russian 83.58% Polish (Poland)80.48% If coordinators of those language teams have difficulties to catch the goal, please let me know as soon as possible. 2. Horizon authorization page translations This is not a big resource. There are 12 languages 100% completed. They are: Chinese (China),Czech,English (Australia), English (United Kingdom),German, Japanese,Korean (South Korea), Portuguese (Brazil),Russian,Spanish,Spanish (Mexico), Turkish (Turkey). There are only a very few strings left in Chinese (Taiwan), Polish (Poland), and French translations. Please don't forget to finish them. 3. Nova translations nova.pot is included in Liberty translation plan. Following language teams have made good progress: Chinese (China) 100.0% Czech 99.63% Spanish 94.78% Turkish (Turkey) 94.1% Some others languages team might not have good progress. I understand some translators are not active in Nova translations. For those language teams, I will suggest to import IBM translations. While I did test, after merging IBM translations, the percentage will increase to 90% and even more. I hope coordinators could take a serious consideration of this suggestion. I appreciate very much your contributions in Liberty translations. I'm very sure we will get a good result in Liberty. Thank you. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

PTL Elections September 2015
by Ying Chun Guo 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Hi, team We just became a official team in Liberty, I guess some of you are not familiar with PTL elections process. Every official project must elect a PTL. PTLs are elected for 6 months. All ATC's have the right to vote for your favorite PTL for a cycle. Refer to this wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/PTL_Elections_September_2015 I have submitted my candidacy for I18n team just now. Hope to get your support for my PTL role for Mitaka. Thank you. Regards Daisy

Re: [Openstack-i18n] Zanata, message to the team
by Robert Simai 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hi Doug, I see one advantage in that approach, the list is already there. I see more disadvantages: - we'd need to make sure that all translators are subscribed. I don't think it's the case - for a regular translator many stuff discussed here may not be relevant or interesting - they will all have to setup proper email filtering and it needs discipline for the poster to stick to that. You'd probably need two tags, one for the project and one for the language - we can't use the local language to discuss language specific stuff but need to stick to English And there may be a few more. These however were my thoughts why I (still) think it should rather be a Zanata feature as there we have user/team information and could easily target messages to relevant people. -- Thanks, Robert On Thu Sep 17 2015 14:58:39 GMT+0200 (CEST) drfish(a)us.ibm.com wrote: > Can't the openstack-i18n mailing list be used for this?

Zanata, message to the team
by Robert Simai 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hi, probably I simply don't see it but how would I - as coordinator or regular team member - send a message to the translation team for my language? The only message I can create is "contact coordinators", myself so to say. Do I overlook this feature or is it just missing? If the latter, I'd clearly like to have it as I'm not sure if we can expect to have all translators on the openstack-i18n mailing list. In Transifex we had the "discussions" forum to reach out to all team members, that was very helpful. -- Thanks, Robert

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, First of all, with PTL candidacy now closed, it appears that I will be continuing to hold the docs reins through to Mitaka. Thank you to all of you who contacted me personally over the last week or so, expressing their support. I'm very honoured to be leading such a great team, and I'm looking forward to continuing to serve you. As always, my door will continue to be open to ideas, comments, and criticism, so please keep telling me what you do and don't like! We're less than a month away from the Liberty release now, and with the Mitaka PTL question settled, I'll be working on Design Summit session planning over the next few weeks. I've created an etherpad to gather your ideas, more on that in this newsletter. In other news, testing is now well underway on the Install Guide, I've knocked our existing blueprints into order, been doing some thinking about the DocImpact script, and worked with the speciality teams on determining the final work items for Liberty. == Progress towards Liberty == 26 days to go 514 bugs closed so far for this release. * RST conversion: ** Done. * User Guides information architecture overhaul ** Underway. Some tasks to be held over to Mitaka. * Greater focus on helping out devs with docs in their repo ** A certain amount of progress has been made here, and some wrinkles sorted out which will improve this process for the future. * Improve how we communicate with and support our corporate contributors ** I'm still trying to come up with great ideas for this, please let me know what you think. * Improve communication with Docs Liaisons ** I'm very pleased to see liaisons getting more involved in our bugs and reviews. Keep up the good work! * Clearing out old bugs ** Great work this week, with two bugs from the last two weeks closed (thanks Deena and Tom!). Three new bugs this week. == Mitaka Summit Prep == The schedule app for your phone is now available.

IBM translations to contribute: update
by Douglas Fish 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Here's the revised approach we are taking to contributing our IBM translations to the community, based on feedback on suggestions: We are planning to make the proposed translations available for a pre-review as a separate branch in Zanata, but they are not there yet. While testing out this upload on the development server we discovered that uploading PO files caused the server to become unresponsive for a while. Thanks to pleia2 and the infra team for sorting that out and addressing the issue. We'll try the upload on dev again tomorrow and if it goes well we will make the translations available for pre-review in a separate Zanata branch. I had originally proposed ending the pre-review on Monday. Obviously that's not going to happen! I understand that different language teams have differing levels of readiness to accept these contributions. I understand some groups are ready at this time, while others would like to have more time, possibly even into Mitaka to review. We aren't going to upload PO files for any language were the team does not want them. Language coordinators, please let me know how you'd like to proceed with these contributions for your language. Do you want 1) us to upload them to Zanata's current master translations for normal review and editing as soon as we can, 2) us to upload them to Zanata as a separate branch for further pre-review, or 3) hold off any submission or preview at this time. Please note that it important to us that we upload these translations. The translations are a valued IBM asset, it's important to us that they are recognized as contributed by IBM. I'll be at the Thursday i18n team meeting, and am available by IRC (doug-fish) or email if you have questions or further concerns. Thanks! Doug

IBM translations to contribute
by Douglas Fish 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hi i18n Friends, I'm happy to share that we are proceeding with our plan to share our IBM translations with the OpenStack community. To review and follow up on what was shared in the 2015-08-20 i18n team meeting [1]: - We would like to contribute our IBM translations for projects ceilometer, glance, heat, nova, ironic, neutron, cinder, keystone, and swift. Note that Horizon is not in this list because the community has been focused on translating Horizon; I'm concerned there may be excessive terminology conflicts. - We have translations for de es fr it ja ko_KR pt_BR ru zh_CN zh_TW - These contributions are based on our Kilo translations. They have been reviewed and tested. - In order to facilitate an informal review by the translation teams before uploading I've made the translations available at https://github.com/doug-fish/openstack-translations . The repository is private. If you'd like access, just share your github id with me via email (drfish(a)us.ibm.com) or IRC (doug-fish) and I'll give you access. - Segments that have been updated with IBM translations have a comment "Contributed by IBM" added. This is to enable reviewing; I don't expect these comments to remain in Zanata after the upload. At a high level, our process is that we are extracting the existing PO files from Zanata, then using Babel based code to compare our IBM translations with the community ones and filling in any blanks. We've taken care not to overwrite any existing translations. These proposed files are based on what we extracted from Zanata recently (today). Our intent is to run this tooling again after the review period to pick up any community translations that have occurred. I'm aware that translations for Nova are not updated in Zanata yet, but again, I expect to handle this by re-running our tools. I'm working with Thomas Cocozzello (tjcocozz) and Lucas Palm (lapalm) who have coded our tools and scripts to handle this. They are requesting to join the language teams in Zanata so that if there are no concerns noted during the review they can upload translation contributions. I plan to ask Tom and Lucas to upload these files on 2015-09-14 unless there are concerns noted during the reviews. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns!

Migration to Zanata will start at 00:00UTC September 9th
by Ying Chun Guo 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hello, team I'm so excited that the migration to Zanata finally comes, officially. It will start at 00:00UTC Sep 9th, (~2 hour from now). Please STOP your translations on Transifex now, till infrastructure team makes the announcement that migration is completely done. Or else, it could cause problems and your work will be lost. Translations from September 8th UTC time will be included in the migration. When the switch is made, pushing to and pulling from Transifex will be stopped. Please NOTICE: Translations made in Transifex after September 8th UTC will NO LONGER be submitted to OpenStack. All the users information and teams information in translate-dev.openstack.org will be included in the migration too. Please STOP the registration and adding team members in translate-dev.openstack.org. When migration is done, you could use the official website: translate.openstack.org. Hope everything runs well. Thank you for your corporation. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

[all] New Gerrit translations change proposals from Zanata
by Elizabeth K. Joseph 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hi everyone, Daisy announced to the i18n team last week[0] that we've moved to using Zanata for translations for the Liberty cycle. Everyone should now be using Zanata at https://translate.openstack.org/ for translations. We're just now finishing up the infrastructure side of things with the switch from having Transifex submit the translations proposals to Gerrit to having Zanata do it. The Gerrit topic for these change proposals for all projects with translations has been changed from "transifex/translations" to "zanata/translations". After a test with oslo.versionedobjects last week[1], we're moving forward this Wednesday morning UTC time to have the jobs run so that all translations changes proposed to Gerrit are made by Zanata. Please let us know if you run into any problems or concerns with the changes being proposed to your project. The infra and i18n teams will have a look and provide help as needed. Thanks everyone, these are exciting times for the i18n team! [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-i18n/2015-September/001331.h… [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/222712/ note that the topic: had not yet been updated at the time of this change, but it has now -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2

Usability problem for coordinators: managing join requests?
by Tom Fifield 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hi, Please excuse me if I'm missing something obvious here - Zanata is quite new to me :) Based on my experience, it seems the process for approving a member request is very "manual" and could be quite frustrating for the large teams. 1. Email comes in: """ Dear Language Team Coordinator, Zanata user "Example Name" with id "example" is requesting to join the en (English) language team Roles requested: Translator Reviewer Coordinator Example Name has included the following message with this request: You can add user with username "Example Name" to the "en" team as translator using the "Add Team Member" action on the language team page. You can click the link below to go directly to the en-GB Language Team Page. Please reply to Example Name at example(a)example.org when you have finished processing this request. https://translate.openstack.org:443/language/view/en You are receiving this mail because: You are a coordinator in the "English" language team """ 2. Click the link to go to the Language Team 3. Can't do anything - need to login, so click login 4. After logging in, you are back at your personal profile page. Can't action the request here, so go back to the email and click the link again 5. Expect to see something about the new request on the language team page, but there's nothing there. Can't action the request, so go back and read the email again. 6. Click the plus button to get the "Add Team Member" dialogue and realise you need to copy and paste the username from the email into the box. 7. Realise you don't remember which roles the user applied for. Go back and check the email a fourth time, then enter the roles and click add. 8. Email says it's now up to you to manually email the user to let them know they were added :) Are any other coordinators having this experience? Transifex wasn't perfect in how it dealt with join requests, but at least you could easily see a list of all of the requests for your language and approve them with a single click. If I'm not missing something, and this really is the procedure we need to run through 50 times for the larger languages to on-board everyone, then doing it on an ongoing basis, it seems less than ideal :) Regards, Tom

Updating Translations documentation for Zanata
by Elizabeth K. Joseph 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hi everyone, The documentation on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Translations is now out-dated with our switch to Zanata, and just this morning we had a question about it in the #openstack-i18n channel. For now, I've placed a heading on that page explaining that the Transifex information is now out-dated, but we will work to get this documentation updated over the next couple weeks. If there's other documentation out there about OpenStack Translations please let me know so I can make sure it's on my list to update. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2

[nova] [all] Updated String Freeze Guidelines
by John Garbutt 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi, I have had quite a few comments from folks about the string freeze being too strict. It was noted that: * users will prefer an untranslated log, over a silent failure * translators don't want existing strings changing while they are translating them * translators tooling can cope OK with moved strings and new strings After yesterday's cross project meeting, and hanging out in #openstack-i18n I have come up with these updates to the String Freeze Guidelines: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze Basically, we have a Soft String Freeze from Feature Freeze until RC1: * Translators work through all existing strings during this time * So avoid changing existing translatable strings * Additional strings are generally OK Then post RC1, we have a Hard String Freeze: * No new strings, and no string changes * Exceptions need discussion Then at least 10 working days after RC1: * we need a new RC candidate to include any updated strings Is everyone happy with these changes? Thanks, John

String Freeze Guidelines Update
by John Garbutt 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi all, Daisy and I have been chatting about the String Freeze guidelines. After our conversations, and some discussion in the cross project meeting, I have updated them here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze It seems the general string freeze got accidentally got made super strict. Hopefully this slight relaxing of the rules will work better for everyone, particularly for our users. Certainly right now we are only merging bug fixes, but they often include the need for extra log messages, or similar. Right now we are hiding logs as debug messages, etc, to try and get them merged during the freeze. The above changes should stop all that pain, and help our users too. Does this sound sensible? Thanks, John IRC: johnthetubaguy

Hello, team As the new translation tool - Zanata is ready to use, let's kick off the Liberty translation from today. The Liberty translation plan includes Horizon translation and Nova translation. We are quite familiar with Horizon translations. Here are the Horizon documents to be translated in Liberty: https://translate.openstack.org/iteration/view/horizon/master/documents Since Kilo release, there are 500+ new introduced messages. Nova is the first time to be included in the translation plan. It could be regarded as a trial that I18n team would translate more kinds of user facing messages in the future. Here are the Nova documents to be translated: https://translate.openstack.org/iteration/view/nova/master/documents Document "nova" contains user facing messages, which is required to be translated. Documents "nova-log-*" contain different levels of log messages, which are optional to be translated. Whether to translate log messages and which levels to be translated could be the decision of each language team. In Liberty translation, we use two phases of string freeze: the soft freeze and the hard freeze[1]. Soft freeze is already happened at feature freeze time. Hard freeze will be happened in the week of 21st September. New strings will be added before the strict freeze while we are translating. After strict freeze there will be few strings added, and then we will get 10 days to finish up the translations. Oct 12-16 is the official Liberty release date. We have to finish all the translations several days before the final release, in order to give time to development team to import translations, package everything, and run final tests. So Oct 5 would be an appropriate deadline for translation. If you want your language pack to be included in Liberty release, work with your language team, finish these translations before Oct. 5. Zanata is a new tool for translation team. Wiki page [2] describes how to register and how to join a language team. Zanata translators guide [3] is helpful if you don't know how to use Zanata. If you meet with any issues or problems you cannot solve, ask for help through the IRC channel and the mailing list. There is a strong infrastructure team and a supportive Zanata team behind us. September is a busy time for translators. Let's start Liberty translation now. Any questions, please let me know.

Request for Assistance with OpenStack Diversity Survey
by Roland Chan 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi All, As part of the OpenStack Foundation's Diversity Working Group. ( https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Diversity) I am coordinating a survey of the OpenStack community. The intent of the survey is the measure the diversity of the community in various areas to determine priorities for action. The survey covers a great number of topics: gender, sexuality, geography and language use. It would be of assistance if the survey could be translated into multiple languages to maximise the ease with which the people can respond. There are about 15 short questions that would need to be translated. I'm aware that additional work at this time of the cycle is probably the last thing anyone needs, but if anyone is free to assist for any language, please contact me. Even advice would be welcome if translation is not feasible. Also, if anyone is interested in participating in the Diversity Working Group, check out the link above and come to a meeting. Thanks! Roland Chan

Fwd: Final plans before translations switch to Zanata

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Arvinder Singh Kang* <contact(a)arvinderkang.com> Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2015 Subject: [Openstack-i18n] Final plans before translations switch to Zanata To: Amandeep Saini <jimidar(a)gmail.com> pa-IN is flawed and Panjabi is not a proprietary language of India - but language is spread across the world.e.g. It is the third most spoken/written language in BC after English. Also pa-Arab is not appropriate because there is no direct connection between spoken Arabic and Punjabi. pa-Guru / pa-Shah would make a much better argument.

Final plans before translations switch to Zanata
by Elizabeth K. Joseph 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi everyone, As I mentioned at the infrastructure meeting yesterday[0], we are almost ready to launch the production Zanata server (translate.openstack.org) I have a week long trip starting this Friday night so I'm sharing my plans here so clarkb, StevenK and others can continue the work while I'm gone. I'm Cc:ing the translations team on this message so they are kept in the loop. First of all, timeline-wise we're aiming to get this in the hands of the translators by the week of September 7th so they have time to do their work before the Liberty release. We have a few improvements to installation that we still need to work out: 1. Switch to archive module for server installation (change here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/192901/) 2. Switch to archive module for client installation (I'll get that change proposed today) 3. Figure out why Wildfly 9.1 isn't being installed and used (instead of 8.1 that we began with), in spite of changing the download link (it's being downloaded) and upgrading the puppet-wildfly module (Steve: you've doven into the latest changes in the puppet-wildfly module, perhaps you're in a good place to look at this?) This should all be finished in the next couple days and we can then launch translate.openstack.org Beyond raw server launching, there are a few other things that we need to make sure happen: 1. Work with Carlos to get instructions for properly importing the user database to the new server (I've Cc:ed him here, we need this ASAP) 2. Work with Daisy to make sure there are cut-over instructions from Transifex to Zanata, and if there's anything we need to do (we should make a plan, even if the exact date is not clear) 3. Generally make sure everything on our script side of things is going well (StevenK has done an amazing job with these so I'm not worried) 4. Make sure we have imported everything we need. AJaeger will be traveling some too, but had the following to say: "First priority would be that the translators can translate. So, this means pushing source strings to Zanata (at least once initially) and getting them working is most important. Then the regular update after each change (which should be working fine already). Importing in the projects can wait a few days, there's no harm if that one stops for a week or two since we do not lose time this way. For translation the most important project is horizon with it's friends" I think that's it. I'll do my best to check in and reply to email and IRC pings while I'm traveling, but some things may need to wait until I'm back at my hotel in the [US east coast] evening. I'll be back the [US west coast] night of Sunday, September 6th. The 7th is a holiday in the US, but I'll be available if we have unexpected problems to work through. Thanks everyone.

Migrating to Zanata - Progress update
by Ying Chun Guo 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hello, team According to the update from infrastructure team, the migration will happen in this week, probably on late Tuesday PDT time. All the preparation work is done. Just need an appropriate time to kick off. Now there are 92 users registered in Zanata trial instance (i.e. translate-dev.openstack.org ). 8 language teams have coordinators. Comparing with 900+ translators and 80+ language teams in Transifex, there is still a big gap. More details about the translation teams in Zanata could be found here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/I18nTeam/Migration-to-zanata I'm going to use "messaging" in Transifex to inform the change to coordinators of some "important" language teams , one by one. If you have good suggestions to attract more translators from Transifex to Zanata, please let me know. Thank you. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

[nova][i18n] Is there any point in using _() in python-novaclient?
by Matt Riedemann 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

I noticed this today: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/219768/ And it got me thinking about something I've wondered before - why do we even use _() in python-novaclient? It doesn't have any .po files for babel message translation, it has no babel config, there is nothing in setup.cfg about extracting messages and compiling them into .mo's, there is nothing on Transifex for python-novaclient, etc. Is there a way to change your locale and get translated output in nova CLIs? I didn't find anything in docs from a quick google search. Comparing to python-openstackclient, that does have a babel config and some locale po files in tree, at least for de and zh_TW. So if this doesn't work in python-novaclient, do we need any of the i18n code in there? It doesn't really hurt, but it seems pointless to push changes for it or try to keep user-facing messages in mind in the code. -- Thanks, Matt Riedemann
