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+br...
