Transifex currently is focused on the "push" part of the workflow, since "pull" is handled pretty well by Damned Lies, even with POT-merged files. Coding fetching in Transifex (as well) wouldn't be hard (POT merging needs work, and maybe other checks I am overlooking). We could link to the stats page from the transifex module pages very quickly, so that translators can see all the info they need from there and fetch the PO files. Is this solution something that could cover our needs? The goal here is to offer simple, generic interface for translators who work only on their .po files. I don't see any problem if the stats page you mention here is in the same look. Cheers, Chester *** Bug 396321 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I just committed an update that adds a graphical link on Tx's module page which links to the statistics page: http://glezos.fedorapeople.org/transifex/link-to-stats.png Should be live with our next package update on the app servers. The way we designed it, both websites use the same URL structure, menus, look-and-feel and content, and avoid mentioning each other, so they feel more or less as a single one. Adding more links between them enhances this feeling and saves users time. This fix will definitely help people get their files easier from inside Tx. Keeping the report open to remind us to continue working in integrating the tools better. Sorry to be picky here. Just wondering if the process can be much simpler for computer dummies like me? All I need is a page where I can download all the .po file of my language, and a page where I can upload the file I translated without worrying about the filename on the server. BTW, this could be an error: From the web page https://translate.fedoraproject.org/submit/ it takes me 5 clicks (too many clicks) to get an anaconda file and the actual result is a 404 error. ========== Not Found The requested URL /translation/POT/anaconda.rhel5-branch/anaconda.rhel5-branch.zh_TW.po was not found on this server. ========== (In reply to comment #5) > Sorry to be picky here.

No reason to apologize, thank you for bringing up the usability issues. We are looking into how we can make the link from the statistics page (for downloading PO and POTs) to the submit page. Perhaps the submit page could be made more language dependent. Eg. when a translator is on the statistics page, he clicks the submit button for a module in the list, and that will take him to the submit page for that specific file without having to specify a file name or such. He uploads the file, verifies the diff and optionally ads a specific commit message (a default commit message should be created like 'updating Norwegian nb translation'). After submission the translator can click a link to return to the statistics page. One issue here is that the statistics page won't be updated straight away. Hm.. perhaps we could implement a ping-back system so that we can visually see which modules are not yet updated..

Bug #431173 registered. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431173 Confirming that the link from "Submit" to "Stats" has gone live (small pie chart icon). Now going from the Transifex module page to the downloadable PO files is 2 clicks away. I added to my TODO a feature to allow form pre-filling from variables in the URL (and even form submitting), so that we can go from Stats to Upload in 2 clicks or so. requested by Jens Petersen (#27995) Closing bugs related to deprecated DL/Tx 0.3 combo. |
