localization for Watch and listen

[kreneskyp]

Watch and listen activity has a small set of buttons and menus to be translated into other languages. We have noone on staff capable of doing translations.

[sayamindu]

Could you give me the URL where you are hosting the source code for this ? We can in that case add your repository to Pootle when it is open for translators.

[RafaelOrtiz]

reassign to jirwin to provide the link to the source code.

[kreneskyp]

The cvs repository only allows access if you have an account and a registered public/private key pair. this is required even to just check out the code. Let me know if this is an issue

here is detailed instructions for getting read access to the helix repositorys: https://helixcommunity.org/developers/get_connected_to_cvs/quickstart.html

checkout using the command: cvs -d :ext:your_user_name@cvs.helixcommunity.org/cvsroot/olpc-player co sugar

commit access is restricted but may be granted on a case by case basis.

also, please refer all questions to myself as i am the project lead for w&l.

In the current situation, I would recommend that you attach the latest POT to this ticket. We will integrate it into our Pootle setup. When you have a newer POT, you can open a new ticket (under the component localization), and we will update the POT in Pootle.

[kreneskyp]

We currently don't have a POT file to attach. Where are docs on how to make one?

[RafaelOrtiz]

Hi, you can see this documentation:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Python_i18n

Hope this helps.

I get the following error when trying to generate the .POT from within the jhbuild shell. a .POT is created but it only has the activity name in it. All other strings are missing

peter@floyd:~/wrk/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/activities/Watch & Listen.activity$ ./setup.py genpot WARNING: NEWS file is missing. xgettext: no input file given Try `xgettext --help' for more information. ERROR - xgettext failed with return code 1.

[bemasc]

See also #4841.

[sayamindu]

Do you have a MANIFEST file ? The code looks into the MANIFEST file to check for files which contribute to the UI.

[kreneskyp]

there is no MANIFEST file in the bundle

[kreneskyp]

created a manifest file and tried again. The file does exist, i think it might be an issue with spaces in the directory name.

peter@floyd:~/wrk/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/build/share/activities/Watch & Listen.activity$ ./setup.py genpot WARNING: NEWS file is missing. xgettext: error while opening "Watch\ \&\ Listen.activity/setup.py" for reading: No such file or directory ERROR - xgettext failed with return code 1.

[sayamindu]

Hmm - could you point me to a tarball of the activity which I can download and try out ?

[kreneskyp]

Just put together this new bundle with Manifest file added: http://staff.osuosl.org/~peter/myfiles/helix/Watch%20&%20Listen-11.xo

I also tried changing the directory name to be "WatchAndListen" and received the same "no such file" error.

[sayamindu]

Ahh - your MANIFEST file was referring to

Watch\ \&\ Listen.activity/foo
Watch\ \&\ Listen.activity/bar

while it should be

foo
bar

A simple find and replace in your MANIFEST file solves the issue. :-) Let me know if the thing works.

[kreneskyp]

POT file for watch and listen (generated from version 10 of activity)

[kreneskyp]

ok the changes to the manifest worked. I thought it was a little odd to include the containing directory in the paths but thats what the wiki had said to do.

The pot file is attached

[sayamindu]

Thanks - we'll put this in XO Extern (or whatever we name that category to) and put in Pootle (hopefully by the end of this week). Could you point me to the wiki page which says this ?

[kreneskyp]

i was mistaken about the wiki page. I was looking at the Activity tutorial and right after it describes the manifest it show "your directory structure". I mistook it for an example of a manifest file.

[sayamindu]

Is there a Update-1 branch for Watch & Listen? All translator energy is being directed for the Update 1 release now, and if you have an Update 1 branch (note that code freeze and string freeze is in effect now) - I can add it to the Update 1 project of Pootle. I will be sending you a tarball of the translated files on the 18th.

[kreneskyp]

The packages in joyride are horribly out of date. I have repeatedly asked for access to dev.laptop.org (#5036) and have not received it. There are updates beyond what is in joyride (we are on version 11) but I can't submit them.

sayamindu: Where are the translations?

[sayamindu]

Currently it is very difficult to add any project in Pootle which is not hosted in Git - or which does not provide a straight forward way to retrieve the latest POT file (even a canonical http URL would do - as in the case of Record).

I have added Henry Hardy (our sysadmin) to CC - Henry, could you possibly set up a Git project for Watch and Listen ?

If this is a real emergency - I can include a POT from a recent .xo bundle in Pootle, but I would really really avoid setting a precedence here. Stale POT files are something I would like to avoid as much as possible.

[kreneskyp]

Replying to sayamindu:

what needs to go into the GIT repo? The source or the package? we are already using CVS for the project. Personally i'd prefer GIT but im not sure we can make that change.

[sayamindu]

The source - if that is possible. If that is not possible - I would need a way to get the latest POT file (the latest POT file is downloaded on a daily basis). Do you use anything like CVSWeb or anything like that ?

For example, for Record, we grab the latest POT from the web interface to the SVN repository used by the Record team. A tarball of the record translations are done each night, and can be downloaded by the record developers whenever they want to make a new release.

I thought there was a CVSWeb for helixcommunity.org but i can't find it. It may require authentication to get to. The only reason for keeping it in helixcommunity.org's CVS is because thats where the rest of helix code is. There is no technical reason for keeping it there. I will bring up switch to GIT for the activity.

Tree is set up with Sayamindu as owner:

what is the url to the git repo? and if sayamindu is the owner do i have commit access?

[hhardy]

Added sayamindu and krenesky to group watch-listen and made git files owned by group watch-listen just now. Are there any other committers which need to be added?

git+ssh://sayamindu@dev.laptop.org/git/projects/watch-listen git+ssh://krenesky@dev.laptop.org/git/projects/watch-listen

[kreneskyp]

schonstal will also need commit access but i do not believe he has an account yet.

[kreneskyp]

Activity is checked in along with a newly generated POT file. The only change to the pot is the filename now matches the name of the activity.

[sayamindu]

Thanks for this. I'll add Watch & Listen to Pootle by tomorrow. Henry, the Pootle user will also need write access to the repository.

[hhardy]

The pootle user has been added to the watch-listen group on dev.

[sayamindu]

watch and listen is on Pootle. Closing this.
