localization

[parthopdas]

goals

• v bdhrs upload translations files to github and localized strings show up with **0** ongoing development work.

• translation stores

  • web-ui repo: public/locales/...
  • inflection-generator repo: declensions & conjugations.xlxs -> abbreviations text

stage 0: decouple development work from v bdhrs' uploading process

• [x] in i18n.ts en/translations.json -> translations.en.json (this just puts all files in the same directory, after this v bdhrs can simply upload files into this folder)
  • test: the give giveFeedback button should continue to be localized in all languages
• [x] add 1 column each for all supported locales into the abbreviations table in the inflections.db (these will be empty now, but will light up when v bdhrs add them)

stage 1: testability => enable us to see what portions are still unlocalized

• [x] enable psuedoloc locale (ID is 'xx')
  • settable only using devtools console i.e. localStorage.currentScript = 'xx'
  • shows up and english in the drop down
  • there will be a corresponding translations.xx.json file
  • each string here will be same as .en except with ^ appended and $ prepended
• [x] calls to pls will take in a lcid parameter
  • test with lcid = xx for now, actual string will be '^' + en string + '$' (e.g. opt => ^opt$)
  • the en string is taken from from 'name' column of abbreviations table

stage 2: make it work for en

• [x] pull out all strings from the UI just like 'giveFeedback'
  • naming conventions is 'controlName.shortId'
• [x] pls: test will lcid = en, the values will be taken from 'name' column of abbreviations table
  • test: the tables should now show abbreviations all throughtout
• [x] test the above is complete by setting to psuedoloc locale

stage 3: integration testing

• [x] web-ui: have v bdhrs provide with an translated strings say translations.si.json
  • test 1: no work should be needed from your side
  • test 2: web-ui is localized to si
  • test 3: for strings not localized / not present in the translations.si.json, fallback value is from translations.en.json
• [x] pls: have v bdhrs add at least 1 other column to abbreviations table say si
  • test 1: no work should be needed from your side
  • test 2: ensure tables show up with those string

stage 4: other strings in PLS

• [ ] the file that is downloaded with the selected node names
• [ ] the pattern (eti pr) in summary
• [ ] the word 'like' in summary
• [ ] feedback link
• [ ] pron_type in pron_x types
