[Vinzenz Vietzke]

Hallo zusammen,

ich leite mal eine Mail von der trans-Liste weiter, damit jeder
informiert ist. Es werden also in absehbarer Zeit (15.08.11) de_DE und
de im Transifex zusammengelegt.

Hi!

The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for
the l10n teams with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have
their resources justified.

>From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional
codes (like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources
named as language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain
empty translations. It means that the project translators would lose
progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The
progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these
would be available to the teams members afterwards. This is to be done
by the l10n coordinators.

There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an
endless process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case
someone's on vacation. That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period
starts and about 1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project
maintainers to run a script to remove all those language resources.

If the Transifex stats [2] don't lie, the following teams are to be REMOVED:
  as_IN
  bg_BG
  bn_IN
  bs_BA
  ca_ES
  cz_CZ
  da_DK
  de_DE
  el_GR
  fa_IR
  fi_FI
  fr_FR
  gu_IN
  he_IL
  hi_IN
  hr_HR
  hu_HU
  id_ID
  is_IS
  it_IT
  jp_JP
  kn_IN
  ko_KR
  lt_LT
  lv_LV
  ml_IN
  ms_MY
  nb_NO
  nl_NL
  or_IN
  pa_IN
  pl_PL
  ru_RU
  sr_RS
  sr_RS at latin
  sk_SK
  sv_SE
  ta_IN
  te_IN
  uk_UA
  vi_VN

The following team is to be LEFT INTACT:
  zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK)

The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool
available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping
capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the
testing repo. To use now, run:
su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
or update using the testing repo:
su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"

Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good
karma so it would land in the stable repo soon.

The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete
manual to the tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded
one language I wanted. For instance, to update the Virtualization Guide
I did:

1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource:
  a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it
  b. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx init
  c. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/

2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
  a. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU

3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
  a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the
main section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
  b. [misha at pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru

4. delete the local files

You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
$ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/
as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
