Updating translations

Firefox Focus for Android is getting localized on Pontoon.

For converting between Android XML files and Gettext PO files (to be consumed by Pontoon) we use a local, slightly modified version of android2po (See tools/l10n/android2po).

Setup

1. Python, Pip and Git need to be installed.

2. Run the stringsSetup gradle tasks to create a local checkout of the L10N repository (in folder l10n-repo) and to install the python dependencies to run the l10n scripts:

./gradlew stringsSetup

Export strings for translation

1. Fetch the latest changes from the L10N repository and remove all local modifications with the stringsCleanUpdate gradle task:

./gradlew stringsCleanUpdate

1. Run the stringsExport gradle task to update the template and existing translations:

./gradlew stringsExport

1. Create separate commits for every locale using the stringsCommit gradle task:

./gradlew stringsCommit

1. Go to the l10n-repo folder, verify the changes and push them to the L10N repository.

Import translated strings

1. Fetch the latest changes from the L10N repository and remove all local modifications with the stringsCleanUpdate gradle task:

./gradlew stringsCleanUpdate

1. Run the stringsImport gradle task to generate the Android XML files.

./gradlew stringsImport

1. Verify the changes and then commit and push the updated XML files to the app repository.
