Web transtators export/import

[puzrin]

Frictionless integration with web translators required

• Convenient way to share efforts
• Firmware developper may not know all required languages

Questions to solve

• List of primary supported services
• Can we automate import/export without manual script run?
  • Ideally - post PR
  • Or create issue with stat after data update

Do you already have experience with the online translator tools?

Minimal. Helped to translate something many time ago, and studied approaches.

  • I remember transifix as one of most convenient. They had limitation of ~ 200-1000 phrases for free use, that was enoughth for many thing. Current pricing policy is unacceptable for OSS. Need to revisit alternatives
• https://weblate.org
  • Seems alive and actively developed. You can have own copy, or ask their free hosting for OSS projects. I don't know why they have only 235 OSS projects on their hosting.
  • They support PRs on github https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-create-automatic-worflow - did not studied but sounds promissing. Interesting, how do they support custom formats
