Integrate Transifex (Continuous Translation) about scribus HOT 17 CLOSED

Some thoughts:
So what happens when a new translation source file is uploaded ? What happens to old translations:
If one chooses to automatically update the source file:

• New strings will be added.
• Modified strings will be considered as new ones and added as well.
• Strings, which do not exist in the new source file (including ones which have been modified), will be removed along with their translations.

However, old translations are kept in the Translation Memory of the project.

Just a few tips:

1. Use the transifex command line client tx
2. Create a separate github project and commit all the .pot/.po files to it, so even if something goes wrong in transifex, you can always recover. See for example: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre-translations
3. If you wish to learn how I manage translations in calibre, see the file setup/translations.py
   The class POT gets all translateable strings from the calibre source code and user manual and uploads the .pot files to transifex using tx
   The class Translations compiles them to .mo format for distribution using msgfmt
   The class GetTranslations downloads translations from transifex, checks them using pofilter and uploads them to GitHub.
   These commands are run once a week automatically as part of calibre's release process, so that everything is kept up to date.

@kovidgoyal sweet!
Thank you very much. Will study your tips.
Reference notes:

• Calibre's setup/translations.py
  • class POT gets all translateable strings from the calibre source code and user manual and uploads the .pot files to transifex using tx
  • class Translations compiles them to .mo format for distribution using msgfmt
  • class GetTranslations downloads translations from transifex, checks them using pofilter and uploads them to GitHub.

Bingo! Transifex would be great for Scribus! I use it in other projects. I'm the Hungarian translator. If you need a tester, I can help.

@gyuris would you like to help implement this? or know anyone who'd be interested ?

from scribus.

@luzpaz Sorry, I'm not a developer :(

@chhitz based on our previous conversation lets update the ticket here

@gyuris no probs. I'll check in with you when we get Transifex up and running and we can then take you up on testing it. Thanks!

Some concerns were brought up on the channel the other day:
See http://irclogs.scribus.net/%23scribus/2015/2015-05/%23scribus.2015-05-25.log

musescore FTW:
https://musescore.org/node/22982 and @anomaly404 who spearheaded the project
@chhitz maybe we can do something like this. Craig has a resource manager in Scribus though not yet enabled.

@gyuris Check out https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/scribus-14x/language/hu/

:-).
Why exists Scribus and Scribus 1.4 project? For project structure see my other project on Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openlp/language/hu/

from scribus.

Scribus 1.4 is stable
"Scribus" I believe is 1.5.1
Right @chhitz ?

1. I suggest to unite trunk and 1.4 or 1.5 projects in Transifex. Why? In Transifex every project has own language team and I must ask permission for every project to translate. This is not ideal for translators and translation teams if there are more projects for Scribus. Please, see the OpenP project structure: there is only one project and there are more branches in this project, there are closed and opened branches... https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openlp/language/hu/
2. Can you see my ("bubu") permission request in "Scribus 1.4.x" project for Hungarian language team? Please approve me.

from scribus.

@gyuris thanks for that feedback. Need to get clearer on the the workflow of how translations will be handled now through transifex. A patch was submitted by @chhitz to get this ball rolling.

Closing this issue in favor of #15
