The Flarum Language Project

Wouldn't it be much easier if there was a core supported concept to define a fallback?

I locally achieved this by introducing a "fallback" key in the extra section of the translations composer.json to register one or multiple fallbacks (default: en).
Using this approach you just need to add the default language variant as a required package and you are golden.

Symfony already supports language fallbacks btw

PS: Would love to post a PR to GitHub but I am currently unable to do so until my ISP stops screwing me.

naxvog I'm not sure I understand the advantage with this approach. From a UX perspective, wouldn't it be more senseful to only require the installation of one language pack which then allows toggling between variants from within the admin cp?
Additionally, if I wanted the formal variant I would have to install two language packs to get there.

I would like to avoid additional logic in a translation extension.
Additionally the formal variant can be much more lean as all informal translations are handled by the informal fallback. Also I am still trying to avoid duplicate data handling.

@Kakifrucht It is all set up now. I manually tagged 1.5.0 release, as this transition was too confusing for bot and automated PR was useless, I hope it is fine.

Kakifrucht

rob006 great, thank you! One issue I have found is that changing the variant requires a manual cache clear. It would probably be better if that was automated.

rob006

Kakifrucht I'll take a look at this - I probably tested this with debug mode enabled, which always revalidates cache... 🤦

rob006

Kakifrucht I released new version which should fix this bug. You can install it using composer update or composer update flarum-lang/utils.

Kakifrucht

naxvog Have you looked at rob's implementation? Besides the definition of which variants exist, which you would do in the extension itself there is no additional logic in the language pack itself, it is imported through a composer package. The formal language repository on Weblate does not contain duplicates, only the strings that change.

Darkle hola Darkle, disculpa que te contacte por aquí, no tengo otra vía. La comunidad en español está KO

Darkle

rob006 I'll try to look at it next week and see what I need to do, if you need to do something on your side you can go ahead, I have discussed it with jslirola and we are very much in favour of a joint solution.

Oshvam Gracias por avisar, se me había cerrado la sesión y pensaba que estaba todo bien, ya está arreglado 🙂

rob006

Darkle You don't need to do anything, I'll add formal language to Weblate and adjust language pack repository (I need to sync this with changes in bot configuration) next week. Just be aware that I may need to tag new release of language pack at any point.

Darkle

rob006 Ok, I'll keep an eye on it, as for the flarum-lang/utils, I should add it to composer.json - extend.php and remove the current implementation we use for the language register selector, right?

rob006

Darkle I'll handle this too - I need to adjust repository structure first and make some tests. This may also need a migration to migrate old setting to new name.

rob006

rob006 It is done: https://weblate.rob006.net/languages/es@formal/flarum/
https://github.com/flarum-lang/spanish/releases/tag/1.8.0

@Darkle sorry it took so long.

Denys

Hi @rob006 👋
Please add next extensions to weblate:

rob006

Denys https://extiverse.com/extension/xrh0905/oauth-microsoft

Done.

Denys https://extiverse.com/extension/splitbrain/postidredirector

This extension does not have translations.

Darkle

rob006 No worries, thanks for your effort 🙂

Kotosov

Hello. I would like to add a new language pack - Turkmen language pack. Could someone please tell me what is the difference in maintaining manually and via Weblate?

rob006

Kotosov I added Turkmen language to Weblate and created a repository for language pack:

https://weblate.rob006.net/languages/tk/flarum/
https://github.com/flarum-lang/turkmen

I can add you as maintainer (I need your Weblate and GitHub usernames), but you can translate without it through Weblate.

Kotosov

rob006 Thank you a lot!
Weblate username: Kotosov
GitHub username: Kotosov (NuryagdyMuhyyev)

Is there any guide about how to translate without Weblate? Thx 🙂

rob006

Kotosov I granted you maintainer permission on Weblate and GitHub (you need to accept invite on GitHub).

Kotosov Is there any guide about how to translate without Weblate? Thx 🙂

I'm not sure if there is a guide for that, since it is far less convenient than maintaining language pack through Weblate. But in general this is just composer package with YAML files, so you can edit these directly (please do not do this on https://github.com/flarum-lang/turkmen, since all your changes may be overwritten with state from Weblate).

Is there any reason you don't want to use Weblate?
