Bug 1201718

Yuri, would it be possible for you to provide a link to one of the files in question? It could the the file size, but just want to try and replicate the problem.

Yuri,

Would you mind that telling us the command you were using, and attach the po file you were pushing? Thanks.

Libguestfs translation that cannot be uploaded

Hi,

I just use the web interface.

1. Open https://fedora.zanata.org/webtrans/translate?project=libguestfs&iteration=master&localeId=uk&locale=en-US  (just as example).

2. Press upload button (the rightest one) for "po/".

3. Press "Choose..." then select the attached file.

4. Press "Upload".

The command line client upload takes the ages to upload (~3 hours for libvirt file (~8359 messages)) so I ceased to use it, sorry.

Hi Yuri, for offline translated files we recommend using the command line clients. Unfortunately, the GUI has some trouble handling larger files.

We have created another bug (1202596) to improve the GUI uploads.

Yuri, if you are ok with it, I will close this bug and track the improvements of GUI uploads in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202596.

Yuri,

I guess you pushed both source and all the locales.

I went through with zh-TW and translated the first 2 strings, then
use zanata-client-3.4.1-1.fc22.noarch to push


The command I ran is:
time zanata-cli -B -e push --push-type trans --locales zh-TW

[INFO] Pushing target doc [name=libvirt size=1090 client-locale=zh-TW] to server [locale=zh-TW]
Done in 22 secs
zanata-cli -B -e push --push-type trans --locales zh-TW  8.05s user 0.19s system 30% cpu 26.658 total

I think this is as fast as you experienced in WebUI upload.

I just tried this once again (the last time I tried this, I had tried the same command).

time zanata-cli push -B -e --push-type trans -s ../po -t ../po -l uk

Done in 9 mins:19 secs

It is in several times slower then Transifex, but much better now.

It is sad that Zanata lacks basic functionality while implementing uncomfortable visual editor making almost impossible to edit big messages.

You can close this bug report but this does not change the fact that it is impossible to upload translations for average user.

Yuri, 

I don't want to close the bug report to ignore the (very valid) issue you are reporting here. I am closing it to better track it in the referenced bug.

We are also looking into improving the performance of the server when pushing overall. For that, you can look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197902

When you say "lacks basic functionality", I will assume you refer to the uploading of certain large translated files. If not, please correct me with any additional info.

Furthermore, when you say "uncomfortable visual editor making almost impossible to edit big messages", please let us know more details on that specific issue so we can fix it. Also, if you have any ideas on how to improve it, those are also welcome.

Yuri,

Please find the see also bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197902 that we are working on to improve the upload time. Please let us know any feedback you might have.

Yes, that's absolutely right. Online editors are always very slow than offline tools, often loose their "cloud" translation memory databases. That is unfixable, imho.

So it would be nice if Zanata can do the best in what everyone is expecting from translation tool: deliver the translation from a translator to developer, 24 hours per day, fast and efficient.

Thanks for your efforts to improve Zanata.

That was just an old Opera trouble, never happens in Chromium. Sorry for misguiding.

I wish to get the real benchmark, so I run both programs with project libguest and locale uk:

Zanata client:
time zanata-cli -B -e push --url=https://fedora-stg.zanata.org:443/ --disable-ssl-cert --push-type trans --locales uk

zanata-cli -B -e push --url=https://fedora-stg.zanata.org:443/  --push-type   9.32s user 0.27s system 11% cpu 1:25.08 total


Transifex client:
time tx push -t -l uk

tx push -t -l uk  0.09s user 0.03s system 0% cpu 1:13.44 total

Actually I did find a bug in our client that stop you from pushing your file:

You uk.po contains:

"Language-Team: Ukrainian <kde-i18n-uk>\n"
"language/uk/)\n"

While zanata-cli only accepts

"Language-Team: Ukrainian <kde-i18n-uk> language/uk/)\n"

So while we are fixing the bug, please either change the string as I suggest,
or I can push the file for you if you don't mind.

I take the liberty of changing the title to "zanata-cli should allow newline in PO header when pushing" as it is the reason that stop you from pushing.

The performance issues, as Michelle suggest, should be addressed in
Bug 1202596  and Bug 1197902

This is a leftover of Transifex Team page address. Example:

"Language-Team: Ukrainian (http://www.transifex.com/projects/p/fedora-web/language/uk/)\n"

For some reason, Zanata broke it when importing. This Line should be removed.
