Re: [Openstack-i18n] .tx in git repository
by Sascha Peilicke 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Sorry for replying a bit late, I just recently joined the list. Meanwhile, .tx was removed from openstack-manuals. However, I think the points raised by Akihiro Motoki haven't been answered. Previously unaware of this discussion, I submitted https://review.openstack.org/#/c/81839/. In short, .tx/config should really be versioned since it contains repo-specific file-paths. While of course this can be autogenerated in the infra job, it doesn't help people that want to use local tools (such as vi / $FAVORITE_PO_EDITOR) instead of the Transifex web-interface. This also raises the side-question if it is acceptable to submit reviews that add translations or if those should somehow be imported into Transifex web instead and fetched via the infra job? -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke

German translation team changes
by Sascha Peilicke 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi guys, I recently took over coordination of the German translation team on Transifex after the previous coordinator didn't show any activity anymore. I'm an engineer from SUSE and contributed to the German translation before. I also took the liberty to add two of my colleagues as reviewers. Both have added to the German translations before and we didn't have any reviewers before. -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke

transifex problems
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Looking at current translations, I see messages like: Pushing 'en_GB' translations (file: keystone/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/keystone.po) https://www.transifex.com/api/2/project/keystone/resource/keystone-translat… Error uploading file: There is a syntax error in your file.

[keystone] string freeze exceptions
by Dolph Mathews 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I want to open with an apology, because I just found out that new strings (additions) during freeze are not acceptable under the terms of string freeze -- I have mistakenly lead keystone-core into believing that additions were fine. From now on I'll work to correct that! On the other hand, I hope we've done a decent job in code review to protect the translation team from *changes* to translatable strings. As I just discovered this list (and it appears to be fairly new), I'm making the assumption that https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StringFreezeshould be revised to direct exceptions to this list instead of -dev? I believe the only addition we currently have in review prior to RC is this one, which is about ready to start gating: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/81385/ The new string is identical to an existing string, excluding the possibility for any exception information to be appended via string formatting. Thanks! -Dolph

Re: [Openstack-i18n] Fw: [OpenStack-doc] Add Korean fonts for 'coluddoc-maven-plugins'

Hi, Sungjin Can you give the font file or the link to download the font file to David Cramer? He can add it to the plugin and cut a release. @ the whole team If you have font issue with the Maven plugin, please send your font file to David Cramer. @ David Will the Maven plugin become very big if it contains so many font files? Is it possible to use system font instead? Is it possible to configure which font to download when downloading the binary plugin files?

Translation jobs running again
by Andreas Jaeger 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

We now have properly working translation jobs for api-site, openstack-manuals and operations-guide. There are two kind of jobs: The upstream-translation jobs that is run in the post-queue - so after a change is approved - that generates the pod files and sends them to transifex for translation. And the propose-translation jobs that run in the periodic queue - once every morning (starting at 6:00 UTC) - where transifex is queried for any change and these are then proposed as patch for the project. We just got the first three propose-translation jobs in the queue for review with an initial import. We will get now updated pot files if our sources changed and updated po files if translators update strings. Just approve them. Hope everything is working fine now, if not, please tell on the mailing lists. Especially if you see one of these jobs failing, please reach out so that it gets fixed.

Track .tx in git or not?
by Ying Chun Guo 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hello, The folder .tx is used to save the configuration of Transifex Client, which supports our translation process. The folder .tx in openstack-manuals is in managed by git index and tracked changes by git. The file .tx/config saves the mapping information between local po files and the resources in Transifex. If a new po file is added, the file .tx/config will be changed. Now the changes of folder .tx will cause a failure of the job propose_translation_update_manuals. I'm going to fix it. Both of below two ways work: removing .tx from git tree and index, or changing propose_translation_update_manuals.sh to track changes in .tx. I just don't know which one is the better choice. Removing .tx from git because: .tx has no relationship with openstack-manuals. The scripts propose_translation_update_manuals.sh and upstream_translation_update_manuals.sh can use command lines to create and edit the configurations. Tracking .tx in git because: when some people want to use Transifex Client to manage po files, with .tx, they can use simple Transifex Client command line to pull the translations, and don't need to understand the complex mapping information. There is no consensus in OpenStack projects. Some projects don't track and some projects track. I think we need a consensus at least within all documentation projects. I prefer the first opinion - removing .tx from git Please let me know your thoughts to this question. Thank you. Best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

Let's translate horizon for Icehouse!
by Akihiro Motoki 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Hi I18N team, Icehouse-3 milestone has been shipped and it is time to start Horizon translation for Icehouse. Horizon resources on Transifex are now synced with Horizon Git repository automatically. Once a patch is approved and merged, new strings are pushed to Transifex if necessary. Thanks Daisy for the automated script. Let's visit https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/horizon/resources/ and translate! Resources *without* "Havana" are translation targets for Iceshouse. [Translation Import Date] It is not actually decided yet because Horizon RC1 date is not determined yet. According to Icehouse release schedule, RC period begins a week of Mar 27th. Only I can say is the first target date is the beginning of the week of Mar 27th (around Mar 24). Even if your translation is not completed by the date, we have another chance to import translations for Icehouse release (such RC2 or ...). I will update the date if I have an update. [Translation check site] As I did in Havana cycle, I will run translation check site. There is no change in the host and account information from Havana site. (It means my translation check site is switched to Icehouse version) http://157.7.133.23:13580/ Username: demo / admin, Password: opstjpHavana * Translations are imported from Transifex every hour. * Sometimes I will update devstack and latest codes from the official repos. * If something looks wrong, please let me know. Enjoy Icehouse version of OpenStack Dashboard!! Note that it is hosted on a virtual server donated to Japan OpenStack Users Group by GMO internet. Thanks. Cheers, Akihiro

Gating on string changes
by Łukasz Jernaś 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hi, continuing from todays meeting as I got caught up in work stuff (sorry Julie) So the idea was that changes on stable/* and milestone/proposed would run an additional gate job which would check for changes in strings and if they detect one would add a -1 review on the patchset in gerrit a new category. An i18n team member could accept the freeze exception by adding a +1 and only changes with 0 in that gerrit review category would pass or maybe a +1 if we settle on two members. This is modelled loosely on the rules used by the GNOME project (which I'm accustomed to, so forgive me the bias) described here: https://wiki.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning/Freezes https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/HandlingStringFreezes It just a thought of course, but seeing that the OpenStack project community is more diverse adding gerrit/jenkins checks would be a nice idea as enforcing an "send email" policy could be a lot harder.

Korean install guide
by Łukasz Jernaś 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi, I see, that I've been called out on the last meeting about the Korean install guide ;) So the problem with that guide has been noted earlier and reported on Launchpad as https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-i18n/+bug/1276434. Basically there's a wrong tag in the translated string which makes the maven plugin cry. As I don't have sufficient access to Transifex I can't fix it myself so only project admins or the Korean team can fix the issue. I hope the description in the mentioned bug helps to fix it! Best regards, -- Łukasz [DeeJay1] Jernaś P.S. ujuc if I somehow managed to miss the email from you, I'm sorry...

Hello, The Atlanta summit will be held from May 12 to May 16 in Atlanta. If you want to attend but you cannot find travel support, you can try this program: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Travel_Support_Program The program is to support the travel of "key contributors" to attend the summit. Key contributors are contributors whose presence is specifically relevant for the topics to be discussed at the Summit they're applying to. Contribution to translation and translation platform is definitely a kind of important contribution. A good idea to enhance our translation platform and translation process could be a candidate of design summit session. The Final deadline to submit applications is March 2nd. After you submit your application, please inform me. I will try my best to help. Thank you and best regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

About "installation guide" translation
by Ying Chun Guo 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

@ teams who are translating "installation guide": "Installation guide" has references to a few xml files under the folder "common" in openstack-manuals. While you are translating "installation guide", don't forget these xml files. They are: keystone-concepts.xml kvm.xml qemu.xml introcution-to-xen.xml compute-options.xml ch_installdashboard.xml colocating-services.xml You can locate the strings of these xml files by the following steps: 1. Go to "common" in Transifex, and select your language. https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openstack-manuals-i18n/resource/common/ 2. In the "search" box (at the top left corner), select "File" and input the xml file name . All the strings in this file will be listed. With the help of Łukasz Jernaś, there is an easy way to review your translation result. Go to website http://docs.przytulnoc.pl/ and select your language, you will see the translated document. There are 2 weeks left in Feb, let's try to complete the translation by this month! Thanks and regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)

[RFC] another message id generation proposal
by Peng Wu 13 Feb '14

13 Feb '14

Hi, Recently I read about the idea of REST API message and log message i18n proposals. I think maybe we could generate the message id by file name, method name and line no, like "test2.py#Main#15". I think this new message id is shorter and more readable than md5sum. And with this kind of information, the developer can locate the message as follows: 1. find all files with the same file name; 2. jump to the line no; 3. verify the function name and the gettext call; Then the developer can find the corresponding message. In the attachment, it is a small python program to print the information. Feel free to comment this new proposal. Thanks, Peng Wu Refer URL: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-id https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/log-messages-translation-domain PS: I just noticed that some developers are considering to log both English and translated log messages, dunno whether they plan to return both English and translated REST API messages.

Some hacks on gettext for separate pot file generation
by Peng Wu 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi, Recently my colleagues pointed out that gtk+ project already support multiple pot files, it supports both _("msg") and P_("msg") notation. In gtk+ project, it has two directories, po for _("msg"), po-properties for P_("msg"). The po directory is the same as other projects, the po-properties directory has modified the po-properties/Makefile.in.in file, to recognize P_("msg"). It uses "XGETTEXT_KEYWORDS = --keyword --keyword=P_" to extract the P_("msg") messages. Actually this approach requires one directory for each pot file, maybe good to not introduce many gettext directories for openstack projects. Thanks, Peng Wu

Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia
by hailybrown＠hushmail.com 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Fake Conferences CSCI and WORLDCOMP of Hamid Arabnia If you have any thought of attending the world’s biggest fake conference in computer science, WORLDCOMP http://www.world-academy-of-science.org you must visit any websites below https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 or https://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 https://sites.google.com/site/worlddump4 The organizer of this conference is Hamid Arabnia http://www.cs.uga.edu/~hra a professor from University of Georgia, Athens, US. The primary goal of this conference is to collect registration fee by accepting all submitted papers. Several fake papers were published in the conference proceedings. He already earned millions of dollars from the registration fee and is using part of the money for anti-Christmas greetings campaign. http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.com has additional information on this campaign. He recently started another new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money http://www.americancse.org Hamid Arabnia failed to reveal the reviews and reviewers' information for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests and challenges. The reason for his failure is there were no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research community for more than a decade by announcing that each draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him to publish these details at the conference website. Where are these experts? Where are these reviews? Soon he comes up with a story that he lost all the reviews and reviewers’ information because of computer crash or theft. DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and displayed an explicit message; The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing of this conference series. Visit http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html as a sample. He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia name, and university of Georgia email address from the conference’s contact page because the University has banned him from doing that. Do not spoil your resume by publishing in this bogus conference. Wikipedia’s comments on Hamid Arabnia are at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hamid_Arabnia&oldid Additional information on this conference bogus conference is available by searching internet using the keywords worldcomp fake or Hamid Arabnia fake Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading the news is the only way to stop this conference from harming innocent researchers. Respectfully, Many researchers cheated by Hamid Arabnia’s fake conferences

Translation for Havana stable update (2013.2.2)
by Akihiro Motoki 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi team, The next stable update release of Havana (2013.2.2) will be scheduled next week. After the previous release 2013.2.1, we have a few typo fixes in Horizon. Two strings are already changed and a couple of strings are under review. I have just synced Transifex Havana resources with the latest Horizon repo and will keep up-to-date. You will see OpenStack dashboard translation with 99%. The update must be a work with several minutes. I will import the latest Transifex translation after next Sunday 24UTC. Thanks, Akihiro

Many thanks for the excellent work of these teams. Feb. 28 is a good date to close this translation work. After that, we will start the messages translation. If you want the installation guide in your own language to be published in Icehouse cycle, please try your best to catch the date. * Scripts and automation jobs to publish translated documents The script to publish Japanese operations guide is running well now: https://jenkins02.openstack.org/job/openstack-operations-guide-ja/ The link to Japanese operations guide which is generated by a Jenkins job is: http://docs.openstack.org/ja/trunk/openstack-ops/ Many thanks to Tom Fifield 's work. The resource of openstack-ops in Transifex is updated to date recently. There are a few changes. There come a few strings remained untranslated in Japanese translation of openstack-ops. I see some English strings remained in the generated Japanese operation guide. Japanese team please take a look at it. * Horizon translation resources in Transifex There are two categories in Horizon in Transifex now. The "havana-stable" category contains the translation resources for havana-stable release. The "main" category contains the translation resources for the current main branch, which will be released in Icehouse version. I have synchronized the resources under "main" category manually with git repository. At the same time, I'm working on the scripts to automatic the synchronization https://review.openstack.org/68042 If you want, you could start Horizon translations from now. Then you will have an ease time in March after string freeze date (on March 6th). * An enhance to Horizon I18n Now some table columns in Horizon are not able to translated. See the bug description: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224329 Peng Wu is working on it. He has proposed a fix: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/68868/ People who are interested in Horizon can take a look at it. * Add support for translating log levels separately Doug Hellmann from Oslo team is working on it. When this function is enabled, we are able to separate log messages from the big single message resource file. Then we can focus on the user facing messages translation and set the log message translation to low priority. The discussion thread in dev ML is: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-January/025572.html The patch is under construction now: https://review.openstack.org/65518 People who has interests could join the discussion. Things that we will work on in Feb are: * Finish installation guide translations. * Write scripts and create jobs to publish these installation guides in different languages. * Set up Horizon messages translation environment in Transifex Our next IRC meeting is on Feb 6th. If you have questions/suggestions to the above items, or you want to help on these things, send email to me, or talk to me in the next IRC meeting. Happy Chinese New Year! Thanks and regards Ying Chun Guo (Daisy)
