Automating the translation workflows with Crowdin #59

tonyfast commented 4 years ago

I'm very grateful of the work y'all have done with glosario. I hope to find some fun uses for it.

Ultimately, it would be really nice if glosario could be used with GNU gettext language services. Over in python land this would be a dependency free solution for localization services; tools like sphinx and nikola provide translation services that glosario could improve.

I've noticed a few projects using Crowdin for translation services. jupyterlab is currently racing across a few languages. Crowdin provides UI that alleviates managing translations and has Github Actions to integrate with a project. They handle the conventional .pot, .po, and .mo file extensions used by gettext.

I could make this happen @gvwilson if there is interest :-)

@tonyfast If you look a bit closer you will find Crowdin isn't merely a translation service, and not even a good one at that https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/5056#issuecomment-612239691 Check out https://weblate.org instead :)
