We got loads of the great translations already done by our community in:

For Czech and Slovak: https://www.transifex.com/jozef-mlich/jolla-cesky/
All others: https://www.transifex.com/kenya888/unofficial-jolla-translations

How could we import all those to the Pootle translation tool that Jolla has just rolled out in https://translate.sailfishos.org ?

If transifex can export .ts files, that would be great, but would still need some sort of arbitration for those strings?

I'm not aware of how transifex works, but I do know Pootle.

If I could import them to Pootle with a script (matching string IDs), they would appear in the tool as readily accepted strings, but not suggestions.

The best however would be to add them as suggestions and then credit the author(s), but this is where my Pootle knowledge ends and more thought needs to be put (I'll look into Pootle's source code as well)

I very much hoping for your input! :)

Cheers!

Do you have any updates on this? I would love to continue the maintaining the Hungarian translation on the Pootle rather then on the github and it would be more efficient to have the original English strings for translation.

Downloading .ts file from Transifex is possible. String format in the downloaded file is xml, example of context:

<name>AboutPreferences</name>
<message>
    <location filename="../src/ui/qml/AboutPreferences.qml" line="14"/>
    <source>Ricochet %1</source>
    <extracomment>%1 version, e.g. 1.0.0</extracomment>
    <translation>Ricochet %1</translation>
</message>

It is possible to use transifex commandline client. In fedora it is packaged as transifex-clinet I have a script to create an packge. See https://github.com/jmlich/jolla-cesky/

The commands are:

tx init

tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/jolla-cesky

tx pull -a

All the of the currently existing unofficial translations were created by pulling the qm files from the devices and "reverese engineering" them with the qm2ts util. This means that we do not have the original strings, just the source message ID in the ts files.

This is an example how a message in the unofficial translation's TS files look like:

  <TS version="2.0" language="hu_HU">
  <context>
    <name></name>
    <message>
        <source>camera_settings-la-wb-shade</source>
        <translation>Árnyék</translation>
    </message>

  ....

And the same message has the following format in the TS file downloaded from the https://translate.sailfishos.org

  <TS version="2.1" language="fr">
  <context>
     <name></name>
     <message id="camera_settings-la-wb-shade">
         <location filename="../src/settings.qml" line="238"></location>
         <source>Shade</source>
        <extracomment>"Shade white balance"</extracomment>
        <translation>Ombragé</translation>
     </message>

I think it would be pretty straightforward to create a tool to merge the formats together.

@martonmiklos, I've extracted the */templates/* .ts files from current snapshot of pootle (note, the special Terminology project will contain a .pot :)). Mail me to get that tarball.

So the output of the mass-migrator (with some ID matching) tool would be to create an equivalent tree with e.g. */hu/* directory instead (this is the language code for Hungarian in Pootle), add language="hu" to the TS tag, and provide <translation>GOES_HERE</translation> from transifex, and send it back to me. This will be the easiest one-click import to pootle.

Thanks!
