[Trac-dev] german translation

[Jörg Schulz]

Hello,

I'm posting this as requested here:
https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5475#comment:122

I work for a service provider company and we use Trac for some years now
mainly
for tracking employee tasks. Internally I've maintained a german translation
since 0.11 (with i18n-patches) as far as it was needed for our end-users.
For 0.12 and 1.0 the german translation was part of Trac so I had to provide
only some minor translations. But since release of 1.2 the translation seems
to have stalled. I've already updated the translation on transifex. But the
source messages.pot is outdated and I'm unable to update it to the latest
version. So, if I had the right, I would like to make my little contribution
to this great software... :-)

Another question: if the pot-files at transifex are up-to-date, are they
pulled
automatically before a release or is this in all cases the duty of the
committer?

I'll read through the TracL10N wiki page today and try updating the pot
files in the repository, then request that you review the staged changes.
Let's see if we can work together to get the German translation updated. If
I can understand a workflow that gets the job done I'll be able to update
other languages in the repository as well.

We've left it to the translation team coordinator to update the pot files
in the repository from Transifex. However, there are only one or two
languages getting updated at present and we need to update the process so
that the files are pulled from Transifex automatically.

I haven't worked with Transifex, but it would seem to me that the least
complicated thing to do would be to have all translation activity done on
Transifex and then just pull the pot files to the repository at the time of
release.

Syncing i18n stuff from time to time with Transifex has been the way
Christian Boos did it before. He proposed a workflow, that should still
work.
I assisted Felix Schwarz in managing Tracs German translation before. If
you, Ryan, get updates message catalogs, i'll try to help with i18n issues
again as well.
Steffen Hoffmann

Thanks, Steffen.

I will prepare a branch within the next few days and let you know when it's
ready for review.

For 1.0-stable I updated the catalogs and pulled the changes from
Transifex. I then pushed the updates to Transifex.
https://trac.edgewall.org/changeset/16145

However, I'm unsure about the changes pushed back to Transifex. It seems
like there are still differences for the message.po file.

Could you guys please review the changes? If it looks good I'll do the same
for 1.2-stable and trunk, and then translation work can continue on
Transifex.

I made a backup in case the changes need to be reverted on Transifex.
