feat: include message description in the transifex_input.json file

[OmarIthawi]

Description

developer_message in translations files are useful and provides context for translators in Transifex. However, in most MFEs it's gets discarded.

Bad example: frontend-app-learning

Most repositories provides no developer_message e.g. Learning MFE:

https://github.com/openedx/openedx-translations/blob/e4f68adcb8f0b3e9d8ceaa0b6f3562e8c4511a36/translations/frontend-app-learning/src/i18n/transifex_input.json#L2-L6

The transifex_input.json is extract with the following command:

• package.json: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learning/blob/81442bebe9af1084e7f01a962cec78f355a4e960/package.json#L14 "i18n_extract": "BABEL_ENV=i18n fedx-scripts babel src --quiet > /dev/null",

• Makefile: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-learning/blob/0bfb817439e71c78f4fd62bc99378f1054d3188f/Makefile#L16-L25

Good example: Paragon

Paragon transifex_input.json includes developer_message which provides helpful context for translators:

https://github.com/openedx/openedx-translations/blob/5acf6d6c51ccb459c5fe2138e0c77416884a7bb6/translations/paragon/src/i18n/transifex_input.json#L1-L13

Paragon uses the following scripts:

• package.json: https://github.com/openedx/paragon/blob/f7cb7066f92d4bd25dc6dce8681dbf8338987ced/package.json#L39

  "i18n_extract": "formatjs extract 'src/**/*.{jsx,js,tsx,ts}' --out-file ./src/i18n/transifex_input.json --format transifex",

  • Makefile: https://github.com/openedx/paragon/blob/ee4daa09521e8cad760c068bbba6314853fa0bd9/Makefile#L33-L37
