Thanks Misha, this clears up a lot of the things we've been
discussing over
the past couple of weeks.
For guide maintainers: once we reach that August 15th deadline, we'll have
two weeks to remap the language directories in the guide git repos to the
new two-letter language identifiers used by
Transifex.net. If I understand
correctly, all we need to do is edit our .tx/config file as described in
step 4 of Misha's list. Then, the next time we run 'tx pull',
transifex-client should pull from the two-letter modules instead of the old
four-letter ones (which probably won't be there anymore).
Two clarifications: You'll need to delete the four-letter files from
Tx. And, the next time you pull, the two-letter Tx files should be
downloaded on top of the four-letter custom local names.

Hi!
The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for the
l10n teams with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have their
resources justified.
>From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes
(like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as
language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain empty
translations. It means that the project translators would lose progress if
the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The progressed modules need
to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to the teams
members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators.
There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an endless
process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case someone's on
vacation. That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about
1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script
to remove all those language resources.
If the Transifex stats [2] don't lie, the following teams are to be REMOVED:
as_IN
bg_BG
bn_IN
bs_BA
ca_ES
cz_CZ
da_DK
de_DE
el_GR
fa_IR
fi_FI
fr_FR
gu_IN
he_IL
hi_IN
hr_HR
hu_HU
id_ID
is_IS
it_IT
jp_JP
kn_IN
ko_KR
lt_LT
lv_LV
ml_IN
ms_MY
nb_NO
nl_NL
or_IN
pa_IN
pl_PL
ru_RU
sr_RS
sr_RS@latin
sk_SK
sv_SE
ta_IN
te_IN
uk_UA
vi_VN
The following team is to be LEFT INTACT:
zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK)
The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool
available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping
capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the testing
repo. To use now, run:
su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
or update using the testing repo:
su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good karma
so it would land in the stable repo soon.
The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete manual
to the tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded one language
I wanted. For instance, to update the Virtualization Guide I did:
1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource:
a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx init
c. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/
2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
a. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU
3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main
section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru
4. delete the local files
You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
$ tx set --auto-remote
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/
as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
