Simplify translation process with Weblate

rob006

Translations for Flarum core and official extensions are updated for 1.0.0 on Weblate, so currently Flarum 1.x is a target. I'll keep old extensions for beta 16 for few months to give developers time to catch up. As always I recommend to use translation status pages to find which extensions are compatible and focus on them.

rob006 so now i'm able to reupload new translation files and tag a new release, right?

rob006

Justoverclock If by "reupload new translation files" you mean upload them to Weblate, then yes, you can always do that and you didn't have to wait for 1.0.0 release. But if you want to upload them directly to language pack, then bot will overwrite them again and 1.0.0 relase didn't changed anything in this matter - language pack will always be overwritten by state from Weblate.

rob006 i think i will create new repo with a dedicated language pack for 1.0, i have my translated files i do not want to translate all again 🙉

rob006

Justoverclock Wait, what?! There are only few changes in core and official extensions for 1.0.0, you should be able to copy them from old commits. If you don't want to use Weblate, I can remove your language from Weblate and bot will no longer overwrite your changes, there is no need for separate repo.

Justoverclock

rob006 there's a way to filter only the 1.0 changes? i would keep weblate, i will look into this

rob006

Justoverclock I don't understand what you're trying to achieve. If you want to update your language pack for Flarum 1.0.0, then go to https://rob006-software.github.io/flarum-translations/status/it.html and complete translations for extensions with green dots (+ core and validation). That's it. Just don't translate directly in language pack and always do this through Weblate, then nothing will be overwritten by bot.

If you struggle with new ICU format for plurals, you can use https://format-message.github.io/icu-message-format-for-translators/editor.html to edit message and then copy result to input in Weblate. This editor provides syntax check and allows you to test translation (you can use "count" field to check how result will look for different numbers), so it should help you avoid basic mistakes.

I created a new account because I forgot my old one. But the confirmation mail is not received.

DursunCan Your server rejected confirmation email:

Are your sure your e-mail address is still working?

DursunCan

rob006 Yes. This e-mail address is now closed. How can I change the account's email address?

rob006

DursunCan I contacted with you on Discord.

I improved attributing original translation author while exporting translations from Weblate to language pack. So far all commits in language pack were authored by bot, so from perspective of language pack repository, there were no info about who made particular changes. You had to check it in commit history of main repository.

Since now original authors are attributed using Co-authored-by trailer in commit message. Bot is still main author of the commit, but GitHub should detect and display you as an co-author of particular commit.
Detection of original author is really simple and may glitch in some edge cases (especially if you modify language pack repository directly), but it should work fine most of the time.

Some announcements:

Next weekend I'll remove extensions that are incompatible with Flarum 1.0. List is available on GitHub. I kept them so long to avoid unnecessary fuss by removing and adding again when extension is updated. But it will be almost 2 months since Flarum 1.0 was released, it is about time to cleanup some of them. However if you know that any of these extensions will be updated relatively soon (like 1-2 months), please let me know - I postpone removing it from Weblate.
I'm testing screenshots on Weblate. Weblate allows to upload screenshots and connect them with source strings, so translators will be able to see context of particular string - it is really useful in many cases, since context is not always clear from string key. You can see example here.
If you want to upload such screenshots for your extensions, let me know, I'll grant you privileges for that (I'll need your username on https://weblate.rob006.net/). This might be particular useful for premium extensions, which cannot be easily installed and translators needs to translate them blindly. But it would be also great to have people that would contribute screenshots for someone else's extensions, to simplify work for translators.
