AspireUpdate is getting its own GlotPress setup: https://translate.aspirepress.org/projects/aspireupdate/ @afragen is working on it

To add to a translation without being a validator:

1 register on the GlotPress site https://translate.aspirepress.org//wp-login.php?action=register

2 Give administrator of Translate at AspirePress time to approve you as a new translator

3 Check https://translate.aspirepress.org//projects/aspireupdate/ for the list of languages

4 Let administrator know if there's a new language I need to add

5 Go forth and translate

@afragen is the project manager and lead of the Translations project-- questions go to him.

afragen commented 5 days ago

The language packs will live at https://github.com/aspirepress/aspireupdate-translations

@asirota regarding step 3. would it be worth to add a “plugins” in the url from start.

For example from Wp.org https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/contributors/

So iAspirePress Glotpress site are prepared in the url structure for others plugins and themes.

https://translate.aspirepress.org/projects/plugins/aspireupdate/ or similar.

asirota commented 4 days ago

I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you restate?

ipajen commented 4 days ago

Sure

@asirota, regarding step 3, would it be worth adding “plugins” to the URL structure from the start?

For example, on WordPress.org: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/contributors/

This way, AspirePress’s GlotPress site would have a similar structure, ready to accommodate other plugins and themes. For instance: https://translate.aspirepress.org/projects/plugins/aspireupdate/

asirota commented 4 days ago

I see @afragen is this possible? See what @ipajen suggests above. I would think yes.

afragen commented 4 days ago

I'm sure it's possible but would be a redirect. The standard URL for GlotPress seems to be as a project/<plugin|theme>

afragen commented 4 days ago

Nothing in GlotPress designates a project as a plugin or a theme.

Needs to be documented for AU testers

Get the latest release of Git Updater from Github afragen/git-updater or https://git-updater.com
Loads of information on the Knowledge Base at the website
No license needed for public repos on GitHub
In Git Updater, check to enable Branch Switching in the Settings
From the plugins.php you will see info in the plugins row about branch switching
Switching to a brach effectively re-installs the plugin from that specified branc .

The above is how to setup Git Updater for testing different branches of the AspireUpdate plugin. Switching to the translations branch

I can try to 'rehearse' the flow and write it out (will not be today though). I'll ping in #polyglots whenever I have practical questions about scenario's!
