Setup translation system about server HOT 31 CLOSED

I will today try to get a l10n system setup :)

from server.

Regarding the rebranding: Could we try to do a search and replace for ownCloud to %s in the translations and hook in there the instance name of the theme? I could look into this soonish :) Then we could make use of all existing translations and import them afterwards

from server.

#234 is a great example to what happens without an translation system 😜 ... Discussions about the german language in seperate issues on GitHub 😄

from server.

Will Files Drop be translated in Nextcloud 9, because we have no Transifex yet 😕

@LukasReschke is working on this already ;)

from server.

Sounds good to me, only thing that hasn't been mentioned but would be great to have is a bot that pushes the translation changes to their respective repositories.

from server.

Just for my ToDo:

• Replace Transifex Link in CONTRIBUTING.md as soon as it is ready 😉

from server.

⚠️ Another problem is, that files drop is currently not translated 😁

from server.

Would we redo the translations or just import all language actually present and go on from there because else we loose all the languages (quite some on Android)

Import. Just need to figure out how/when to do that properly … if anybody has some time to spent and wants to have fun with Transifex, let me know 😉

from server.

Never worked with transifex except registering an account. This does get more import since future releases merging all the open PRs/branches for the Android app will add to the need for the translation system. If it works like Crowdin you have to define the languages to be available and then upload the file(s) per language.

from server.

Or we create an repo for translations here on GitHub 😁 ... Not as nice as having Transifex ... But ... Yeah ... Better than nothing ... And easier for an first time 😉

from server.

@Mar1u5: for the record: I have looked for a translation system prior to posting in issue #234 and it was only because I didn't know where else to put it that I misused github for this :-P

from server.

@ungesundes-halbwissen Aboulutely correct. We have currently no better place for that 😅 ...as long as we have no Translation System this is the correct and only working way to do that 😁

from server.

I imported now all translations from the server repository into transifex. https://www.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/languages/

Feel free to request for getting into a translation Team. As of now @LukasReschke @jospoortvliet and I can give you the needed rights :)

I will setup a cron job to fetch the translations from there and put them into the git repository.

from server.

Cool! Thanks for all your effort!
On my way :-)

@MorrisJobke can we have the same thing for Android :) Just sent a "Join Team" request for the server and I could then take care of uploading the files for Android if the project is set up and I have the permission to do so (can be revoked afterwards, I don't care).

from server.

@AndyScherzinger What files are needed to be uploaded (as resources) and where should the result be put? Then I set up a cron job to do this automatically ;)

from server.

@MorrisJobke a bit tricky... ;)
The following file strings.xml
in the following folders in the folder in https://github.com/nextcloud/android/tree/master/res which start with values-* with values being the English master files to be excluded: values-sw360dp, values-large-land, values-v11, values-v19, values-v21, values-v9. -* defines the language/ so basically the same thing ownCloud has been running and still is.

Do you know if this is somewhere open source?

Got them. It was only the plain transifex client. I pushed the translation sources and also existing translations :)

from server.

The only thing I found is https://github.com/owncloud/administration/tree/master/jenkins/translation_sync
A quick look seemed this is not for Android though :(

See https://www.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/android/

Oh, okay 👍 Nice 🎉

from server.

will this then also get pushed back to the repo?

You are awesome @MorrisJobke 👍 👍 👍
I'll update the repo README to refer to transifex + URL 🚀

from server.

Will we import translations into 9.0.52 😁 New features (Theming, ...) seems to be untranslated in RC1 :(

from server.

Will we import translations into 9.0.52

This is always hard, because we then need to merge the stable9 and the master translations somehow :(

from server.

Keep in mind that end-users need a full translated piece of software 😉

from server.

I guess this is done, @MorrisJobke ?
