Re: [i18n][infra][horizon] Zanata translation job failures after Python 3.8 deprecation

(+openstack-i18n mailing list) Hi all, I’d like to provide a brief update regarding the translation sync issue on Horizon and its plugins. It appears that the problem has been resolved through the patch at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/954370. Fortunately, Java 8 seems to be supported on Ubuntu Noble, which helped address the compatibility concerns. Separately, the progress of the Weblate migration is currently being accelerated through the mentoring program. For more details, you can refer to the ongoing updates at https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2025-July-I18n-Weblate-Migration-Progress . Thank you to everyone who continues to support I18n efforts. /Ian On Sun, Jan 19, 2025 at 11:33 PM Ian Y.

We can either satisfy the Python requirements or the Java requirements but not both at the same time with extra work. As has been mentioned elsewhere, completing the migration to Weblate removes the need for Zanata client and we can move on from this old platform. > > > > Some ideas on how we might workaround this issue while continuing to use Zanata include: running Zanata client from a container image with the right version of Java installed, or as you suggest installing a newer version of Python on Bionic. We could potentially use the `ensure-python` zuul-jobs role with `python_use_pyenv` set to true and `python_version` set to 3.11 or similar. That would build the newer python version from source on the older platform. We did this with Python 3.12 to get early tests running and it seemed to work. > > > > The problem with these approaches are that they too require work when we could instead focus on completing the Weblate migration. > > > > > > > > 2/ At least me from I18n SIG acknowledges that recognizing these > > > translation job errors was delayed.
