Weblate is a web based translation tool. On 2020-12-14 https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/ was created.
- Status
- consider it still as experimental.
This page is organized by roles.
General
Many pages @ weblate link context sensitive help by i in a circle.
Setup
| WebLate Component | GitHub Repository:location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Glossary | gnucash:po/glossary | linked project, part of Program |
| Program | gnucash:po | |
| Website | gnucash-htdocs:po |
- Glossary
- It tries to collect the common GnuCash specific terminology of all other components.
- After it is completed, it can be uploaded into Weblates Gnucash glossary.
- Currently it is using and ancient style of context "context: term" as MsgId.
- Questions and tasks
-
- Should MsgId "context: term" be converted to MsgContext, MsgId? Pros and cons?
- Review of sources for updated lists
- Other missing conventions?
Translator
- Everybody
- can add suggestions as anomymous.
- Everybody with a weblate account
- can translate and gets mentioned in the po file. In the current configuration a review is required.
- Our former language maintainers
- are asked to tell us their weblate name, to get Review rights.
Ideally no checks should fail. In some cases, the mistake is in the source string. Then please report them by a comment or label.
Coder
With weblate you get feedback, where Translators have problems with your messages. Overview Program Source Messages Tasks by priority:
- label:"Source needs review"
- Multiple failing checks This is usually an indication that something could be done to improve the source string. Info
- Tip
- In both cases at the bottom select
- Comments,
- Other languages
- to get an impression of the problem.
Maintainer
Concept
Weblate is more anarchistic than our hierarchical thinking with core devs accepting or rejecting patches:
- Project settings
- Some are derived from our status as libre hosted project.
- https://hosted.weblate.org/settings/gnucash/#access is set public meaning:
- visible for all,
- every registered user can translate,
- unregistered can attach suggestions.
- To avoid chaos in https://hosted.weblate.org/settings/gnucash/#workflow
- Review is activated, ideally a Gnucash Language :Team should have at least 2 reviewers (and unlimited users), confirming each others changes.
- Component settings
- Suggestions are enabled, but Suggestion voting and Autoaccept suggestions are currently not.
- Lazy commits
- The changes in this mode are committed once any of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- Somebody else changes an already changed string.
- A merge from upstream occurs.
- An explicit commit is requested.
- Change is older than period defined as Age of changes to commit on Component configuration.
Workflow
If Pushs (of Pull Requests) are disabled, you can get the current status of commits at https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/#repository or do it separate for real components.
- Tip
- Set URL=https://hosted.weblate.org/git/gnucash/gnucash/ # for gnucash (program and glossary) or
- URL=https://hosted.weblate.org/git/gnucash/website/ # for ht-docs, then to your repo. Then you can preview pending commits by:
git remote add weblate $URLgit fetch weblate
- URL=https://hosted.weblate.org/git/gnucash/website/ # for ht-docs, then
If there are pending commits
- Only required, if GitHub Settings->Hooks are misconfigured: rebase the weblate repo(s):
- all together: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/#repository
- or per component: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/gnucash/#repository …
- you need to zoom the window to see the buttons;
- Reason: merge conflicts would lock the repository;
- Only required, if Push on commit is disabled: push, to create PRs;
- review at github
- Note
- Because not all weblate users must be github users, it would be nicer to comment on the changes at weblate. This needs more research.
- merge the PRs via code.gnucash.org;
- rebase weblate. Now all lines should show 0.
