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

Clarifying String Freeze
by Julie Pichon 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hi all, During the weekly Horizon meeting [0], a few questions from the Horizon team came up about String Freeze. I think the wiki page on String Freeze [1] at the moment does not match the wishes of the translation team, based on previous conversations [2]. It would be really helpful if the wiki page could be updated to match what the i18n team would prefer. At the moment, in Horizon it seems what we're doing, and planning on doing, is this (somewhat similar to what happened in Havana): - During String Freeze and until RC1, small string changes are ok (Horizon core can just approve) - During String Freeze, string changes in the "grey zone" should use the exception approval process on the wiki (email to i18n list) - After RC1 is released, every string change should follow the exception approval process on the wiki (email to i18n list) ??? - this isn't clearly defined yet, maybe it needs to be earlier? Point #3 is about when the "soft freeze" needs to become a "hard freeze". What is the grey zone? I'm not entirely sure either. An example was: adding several new strings for what could be considered a "mini-feature", during the RC period. Perhaps we can start with this kind of examples + "when in doubt, ask on the i18n list" to define what is the grey zone. In general, I think updating the wiki page would really help reviewers assess patches with a clearer understanding of what is helpful to the i18n/translation team during string freeze, and what might require exception approval or more discussion. Thank you, Julie [0] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/horizon/2014/horizon.2014-03-25-16.… [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreeze [2] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-March/029868.html

German horizon translation complete
by Sascha Peilicke 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

According to https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/translate/#de, the German horizon translation is at 100%. It certainly isn't perfect yet, there are some orthographic issues to hunt down and we have to agree on some common style (i.e. work on a dictionary). However, we're confident that it could go into Icehouse in it's current state already. Thanks to everybody that participated in this amazingly fast translation sprint! -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke
