please migrate to the new Fedora translation platform

[Jibec]

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 and gitlab hosted projects, Weblate open pull request. For other git hosting, 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

Hi @Jibec

thank you for letting me know! What should I do to migrate to Weblate since Zanata is deprecated? I looked into [1], but the steps are probably only for those who wants to translate.

I use 'master' branch for developing and Zanata project is locked now.

Please delete from your repository translations files without translation (use file size and or pocount from translate toolkit). I'll do first configuration of weblate, and make you admin so you can tune it in the future (please connect to the translation platform so I can see you in users).

Do you mean .po files which do not have any translated strings/words? All languages seems to have some strings translated according 'pocount' results.

Meaning https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/ as translation platform?

[Jibec]

Yes to both questions

Ad 1 - so then I'm done, any .po file is not completelu untranslated.

Ad 2 - I have FAS account, so you should be able to add my nick to the project (the same nick as at github) - do I need to be logged in right now? Seems strange if it is the case.

[Jibec]

configuration is done: https://translate.stg.fedoraproject.org/projects/system-config-printer/master/

ALL_LINGUAS variable will be updated by Weblate https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.1/admin/addons.html#addon-weblate-gettext-configure

PO files will be updated by Weblate when POT is updated

Weblate will use Git Squash by author to limit the number of commits

[zdohnal]

AFAIK it is done, closing the ticket.
