Description sandeep shedmake 2013-09-05 06:33:38 UTC

Currently zanata client fetch documents/PO_files for individual projects only.
It would be really helpful if zanata client fetch documents for all the tracked projects (created under a specific GROUP), then upload modified documents back to the Zanata server. This would facilitate 'Translator' and/or language 'Co-ordinator' with slow or unreliable connection (and thereby prefer not using Zanata Web-UI editor for localization).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. fetch/download ~/GROUP/projectA-Z/LANG.po at one go using zanata client
2. localize ~/GROUP/projectA-Z/LANG.po
3. push/upload ~/GROUP/projectA-Z/LANG.po at one go using zanata client


Actual results:
Currently functionality of 'tracking the group without individually tracking each project' is not available by the zanata client


Expected results:
zanata client should 'track the group without individually tracking each project'

The zanata client does not have a concept of 'tracking' projects - rather there is just a config file that describes a project against which push and pull operations are run manually. Adding a feature like this would require a config file that describes a group, and an update to the client to be able to iterate pull and push for all projects in a group. Note that this may be a very expensive operation, so running it in a synchronously command is not ideal.

Zayf is a different client to Zanata that is under development and is specifically designed to address the issue of translating with a slow or unreliable connection. For this use case I think development time would be better spent making Zayf able to track a project group.

Hi sandeep,

Do you want to track all projects in a group, or a subset of the projects in the group as well?

If you want both, I would suggest that we split this bug, one for tracking all projects in a group, another is for adding or removing projects, pretty much like what we do for kickstart files (i.e. -<projectX> for exclude projectX.

What would you say?

'Both' would be good too.
