Hello, the Fedora project migrates its translation platform to Weblate [1].

This tool directly interact with your git repository, and requires us to know:

  • [mandatory] which branch is your development branch?
  • [mandatory] have you merged latest translation from Zanata and locked the project?
  • [info] Weblate will handle updates when pot file changes, don't edit po files for this [2]
  • [optional] what is the license of translation? (please use a code from https://spdx.org/licenses/)
  • [optional] do you have any announcement/warning you would like to display to the translators? (it will be displayed in Weblate)
  • [optional] do you need us to activate any specific checks? (this is a setting per component [3])
  • [optional] do you need us to automatically detect new translation files? (typical usecase: website translation with one translation file per page)

Please note:

  • For github hosted projects, Weblate open pull request. For other project, you'll have to add a key to allow commits.
  • In Weblate's vocable, one project is a group of component. Each component is a translation file. You can have many projects or many components or both.
  • You can change your mind over time, just reach trans@lists.fedoraproject.org

https://fedora.zanata.org is now down. That seems to be related to broken builds - after running cmake -B build -S . && make -C build, build/po/*.po contain no translated strings. I workarounded that by copying files after cmake and before make

touch build/po/ibus-chewing.pot
cp -v po/*.po build/po/

Hey @Jibec it's been a while after this ticket was opened. Can I still migrate to the new translation platform?
