[i18n][ptg] I18n SIG vPTG summary
by Ian Y. Choi 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

Hi all, I would like to share with you a summary of the recent discussions held during the 2025.1 Epoxy PTG regarding the Internationalization (I18n) Special Interest Group (SIG). During the period, the I18n SIG explored approaches to improve multilingual support, discussing Weblate migration, AI-based translation implementation, sustainable documentation translation strategies, and addressing current translation tool issues. Special thank you to TC and Nova team for elaborate discussions. Please refer to the below brief summary from Etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2024-ptg-i18n . 1. Overall Translation Status discussion - Clarifying that StringFreezes applies to Horizon and dashboard plugin projects [1] - Confusion exists about the current state of translations. Horizon translations were added months ago but not proposed by the tooling. : No translation proposals on the master branch after April 19, 2024. [2] : Horizon removed Python 3.8 support [3], while translation jobs depend on Ubuntu Bionic. 2. Towards sustainable Documentation Translation - Discussion on utilizing AI machine translation: : Proposal to use Weblate's machine translation feature. : Consideration of open-source tools like LibreTranslate [4]. : Concerns raised about legal issues. - Emphasis on the necessity of human reviewers: : Suggestion to create a 'language-moderator' group in Gerrit? : Need to add voting labels for translation patches. 3. Weblate Migration - Ongoing migration of translated project files from Zanata to Weblate. - Integration with Zuul is the second-phase goal. - Difficulties encountered due to API usage issues. 4. Weblate Issues - There was an authentication issue with Weblate and openinfraid (note: but it appears to be resolved now. Thank you @rosmaita!) 5. AI Translation Approach - Step-by-step ways a. Model selection b. Community review of the model c. Model utilization d. Model + RAG (Reviewed/Translated OpenStack documents, glossary) utilization - Plan to conduct PoC with Nova RST documents. 6. Action items - To start a 3-month PoC to test AI translation with Nova RST files (ianychoi) - Zuul investigation for Weblate migration (seongsoocho) - Horizon Zuul job issue check (discussion with other teams) Thank you all, /Ian [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/930929 [2] https://review.opendev.org/q/owner:proposal-bot+project:openstack/horizon+b… [3] https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/horizon/2024.2.html#upgrade-notes [4] https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

[Bug 1536226] Re: Not all .po files compiled
by Cyril Roelandt 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

The Glance patch was abandoned 5 years ago as it was deemed unnecessary. Similar code merged in other projects has also been removed since. I'm going to close this bug, feel free to reopen if needed. ** Changed in: glance Status: In Progress => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenStack I18n Core Team, which is subscribed to openstack i18n. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536226 Title: Not all .po files compiled Status in Cinder: Fix Released Status in Glance: Invalid Status in OpenStack Heat: Fix Released Status in OpenStack Identity (keystone): Fix Released Status in neutron: Fix Released Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Fix Released Status in openstack i18n: Won't Fix Bug description: python setup.py compile_catalog only compiles one <domain>.po file per language to a <domain>.mo file. By default <domain> is the project name, that is nova.po. This means all other nova-log-*.po files are never compiled. The only way to get setup.py compile the other files is calling it several times with different domains set, like for instance `python setup.py --domain nova-log-info` and so on. Since this is not usual, it can be assumed that the usual packages don't contain all the .mo files.

[I18n][PTG] 2024.2 Dalmatian PTG - I18n SIG summary
by Ian Y. Choi 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Hi all, As I18n SIG lead, I would like to share with you a summary of the recent discussions held during the 2024.2 Dalmatian PTG regarding the Internationalization (I18n) Special Interest Group (SIG). Firstly, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire community for their commitment to make OpenStack more internationalized. The efforts put forth in translating and making OpenStack accessible globally are truly commendable, thanks to the contributions of numerous individuals, although we are under unprecedented situations and even Zanata will sunset soon [1]. During the PTG, I18n SIG covered several important topics with active and invaluable contributors including Seongsoo (a special thanks for his leadership both I18n team and within the Korea User group): 1. Progress on open reviews for I18n: We discussed pending items in the OpenStack/I18n repository and the status of various reviews. 2. Discussion on the OpenStack/I18n repository structure: This included plans to embrace the use of Weblate - wlc library and add tox environment and corresponding requirements.txt. 3. Pilot work progress on governance translation support: A demonstration was provided on setting up a new project with API and CLI. 4. Feasibility discussion on migrating from translate.openstack.org earlier than [1]. Deliberation on target languages and next steps for user survey translation. 5. User survey translation discussion: Target languages and next steps were deliberated upon. In sum, I18n will continue our effort to finalize the migration from Zanata to Weblate to emphasize the importance of I18n as a fundamental component for global OpenStack accessibility. Thank you for your continuation of the I18n SIG. If you have any questions or would like further information on any of the discussed topics, please don't hesitate to reach out.

[StringFreeze] Soft period was over - Plz contribute translation for the release!
by Ian Y. Choi 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Dear language coordinators & translators! Only a few weeks left before the official 2024.1 Caracal release [1] and I would like to share that the last week was the Soft StringFreeze period. Language teams need to focus on Horizon and Horizon-related projects before all translated strings will be packaged for upcoming release. For more details on how the I18n team is doing with releases (especially Horizon & plugin projects), please see [2]. If you have questions, feel free to ask through openstack-i18n at lists.openstack.org mailing list or ask I18n members on IRC #openstack-i18n channel. Thank you all for your contribution! /Ian [1] https://releases.openstack.org/caracal/schedule.html [2] https://docs.openstack.org/i18n/latest/release_management.html On Fri, Mar 1, 2024 at 11:27 PM Herve Beraud <hberaud(a)redhat.com> wrote: > > Development Focus > ----------------- > > We just passed feature freeze!
