openedx-translations

The openedx-translations repository contains translation files from Open edX repositories to be kept in sync with Transifex. To accomplish this task, a GitHub Action in .github/workflows/ named extract-translation-source-files.yml regularly extracts English translation source files form Open edX repositories containing code and adds them to this repository. A GitHub Transifex app allows for the automatic upload of these translation files and after being translated on Transifex, the automatic download back into this repository. The translation files in this repository can then be accessed by using the openedx-atlas CLI tool to download specific directories of translation files from openedx-translations.

Current State

This repository is currently under active development with limited use. The GitHub Action extract-translation-source-files.yml generates English translation source files for the configured repositories. These translation source files are the only ones uploaded to the Transifex project openedx-translations. The English translation source files have only been translated into one language: French Canadian (fr_CA). The openedx-atlas CLI tool can only be used to pull translation files from the credentials directory in openedx-translations.

Translation validation

This repository validates translations with the GNU gettext msgfmt tool.

The validation can be run locally with the following command:

make validate_translations

The validation errors is also posted as a comment on the update translation pull requests.

If GitHub Actions has an outage or any other issues there will be a backlog of stale unmerged Transifex bot pull requests. To re-run tests and merge the pull requests, run the following command:

make retry_merge_transifex_bot_pull_requests

Translations sync from old Transifex projects

This repository allows for syncing translations old open-edx/edx-platform and open-edx/xblocks Transifex projects into the new open-edx/openedx-translations Transifex project. This is done by trigger the sync_translations.yml workflow on GitHub.

Alternatively, you can run the following command to trigger the workflow:

# Run with parameters from .github/workflows/sync-translations.yml
make sync_translations_github_workflow
