Top-level blueprint: Translations and Codehosting integration

Details here are based on an integration call between Translations team and Aaron Bentley and Tim Penhey from code-hosting team, and further discussed in an estimation call inside the Translation team.

Historical specification at https://launchpad.canonical.com/RosettaTranslatesBranch

Template import

https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/import-templates-from-branch

This has been implemented in Launchpad 2.2.3, see Tutorial

Cost: 9

• UI to select options for the sync: database patch, new LaunchpadForm (cost 3)

• Branch job script to handle a branch (cost 3)

  • gets branch ID from branch scanner
  • find branch in Launchpad, check if it's the one that needs import (what productseries a branch is related to)
  • scanning the branch, finding POT files
  • putting those into import queue

• Auto-approve simple cases (cost 3)

  • No templates yet in the database
  • Single template in the branch and in the database
  • Refactoring to be reusable
• Notes: testing — pagetests for UI, unit tests for each of the steps

PO file import

https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/import-translations-from-branch

Cost: 1

• extend UI options
• adapt the scanner to look for pofiles as well and put them into a queue

Commit PO files to a branch

https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/commit-translations-to-branch

Cost: 8

• UI to set ProductSeries.translation_branch: db patch, branch picker for branches maintainer is allowed to push to (permissions) (cost 3)

• Export translations and put them into a branch: (cost 4)

  • Export it
  • Get a branch
  • Commit to it (overwriting files), careful with filenames and paths
  • Use same directory as the potemplate.path, normalize everything else
• Allow loganberry/forster access to bazaar branch storage (to be able to commit) (cost 1)

Features to implement in the future

• Automatic POT regeneration — automatically regenerate POT files in Bazaar branches hosted in Launchpad if they follow certain rules (eg. intltool/gettext module layout)
