Hi Ian, Long time no see. I just noticed this email when looking thru openstack emails. While I am not active in OpenStack now, there are several points I can help based on my past knowledge.

I apologize for the excessive Launchpad bug notifications on the mailing list. I discovered that modifying the I18n mailing list settings could prevent these alarms, and I have temporarily applied the changes.

The reason of notifications to this list is because “OpenStack I18n Core Team” team (on launchpad) subscribes openstack-i18n launchpad project [4] and the email address of the i18n core team (on launchpad) is configured to this mailing list [5]. I am not sure why this kind of configuration was done, but it is totally different from other project team in OpenStack. I believe “OpenStack I18n Core Team” launchpad team should unsubscribe openstack-i18n bug. Ian, you are the only active administrator of this launchpad team, so perhaps only you can unsubscribe bug notifications (at [4]). After tha you do not need the special mailing list configuration to block bug mails.

[Next Steps]

Looking ahead, here are some proposed actions to improve the situation:

a. Recent translation bug reports have been overly granular. Moving forward, I recommend managing translation bugs with a more project-wide approach. b. Many bug reports lack clarity regarding which projects they pertain to. I plan to mark such unclear reports as “Invalid.” c. I hope contributors will gain a better understanding of the overall translation process soon. d. I am exploring whether it’s possible to introduce bug submission templates or improve the guidelines for reporting translation bugs [3].

Generally sounds good. Regarding the bug report template, you can find it at "Configure Bugs" menu [6] of the bug page. The template and the guideline there have not been updated for long. We can adjust them to match the current situation.

Hi all,

I’d like to share updates on two key I18n SIG topics:

1. Horizon translation sync issues

The sync mechanism between Git project repositories and translation data on Zanata, based on old infrastructure, is causing some challenges for Horizon project [1].

Currently, I am handling the sync manually, as shown here [2].

While progress on the Weblate migration is slow, I hope this temporary solution helps for now.

2. Launchpad bug alarms on mailing list

I apologize for the excessive Launchpad bug notifications on the mailing list. I discovered that modifying the I18n mailing list settings could prevent these alarms, and I have temporarily applied the changes.

I will revert the mailing list settings after these improvements are in place.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you all,
