Talk:Live GIS Translate

It would be nice to do the translation with Transifex. In contrast to github, Transifex is much easier for non-technical people. Moreover we can get an good overview how much is translated. Other projects also use Transifex for their translations:

• QGIS-Documentation translation
• QField-Documentation translation

Implementation

This mail already explains some basic steps and demonstrates it in this fork. Moreover the documentation on the Transifex website is useful as well. Sphinx provides instructions as well.

I used this branch https://github.com/ThomasG77/OSGeoLive-doc/tree/transifex . Then I did this commands:

make gettext sphinx-intl update -p _build/locale tx init sphinx-intl update-txconfig-resources --pot-dir _build/locale --transifex-project-name osgeolive tx push -s

Then comes a error messages:

tx push -s
Pushing translations for resource osgeolive.index:
Pushing source file (_build/locale/index.pot)
Resource does not exist.  Creating...
Exception: Unexpected import error (cause: Syntax error in po file None (line 10))

The file "_build/locale/index.pot" looks like this: (The wiki does not show the file correctly - so check the wiki source code for the correct file ... )

Somehow in line 10 there is a "\n" which causes trouble. When I fix this line, then I am able to push content to Transifex.
