Regionalización continua#

There is infrastructure in place so that your translation closely follows development. This way translators can work on translations the entire time, instead of working through huge amount of new text just prior to release.

Integración con Weblate describes basic ways to integrate your development with Weblate.

This is the process:

  1. Developers make changes and push them to the VCS repository.

  2. Optionally the translation files are updated, see Introducing new strings.

  3. Weblate pulls changes from the VCS repository, see Updating repositories.

  4. Once Weblate detects changes in translations, translators are notified based on their subscription settings.

  5. Translators submit translations using the Weblate web interface, or upload offline changes.

  6. Once the translators are finished, Weblate commits the changes to the local repository (see Consignas diferidas) and pushes them back if it has permissions to do so (see Enviar cambios efectuados en Weblate).

digraph translations { graph [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10]; node [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10, margin=0.1, height=0]; edge [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10]; "Developers" [shape=box, fillcolor="#144d3f", fontcolor=white, style=filled]; "Translators" [shape=box, fillcolor="#144d3f", fontcolor=white, style=filled]; "Developers" -> "VCS repository" [label=" 1. Push "]; "VCS repository" -> "VCS repository" [label=" 2. Updating translations ", style=dotted]; "VCS repository" -> "Weblate" [label=" 3. Pull "]; "Weblate" -> "Translators" [label=" 4. Notification "]; "Translators" -> "Weblate" [label=" 5. Translate "]; "Weblate" -> "VCS repository" [label=" 6. Push "]; }

Updating repositories#

You should set up some way of updating backend repositories from their source.

Whenever Weblate updates the repository, the post-update addons will be triggered, see Complementos.

Evitar conflictos de fusión#

The merge conflicts from Weblate arise when same file was changed both in Weblate and outside it. There are two approaches to deal with that - avoid edits outside Weblate or integrate Weblate into your updating process, so that it flushes changes prior to updating the files outside Weblate.

The first approach is easy with monolingual files - you can add new strings within Weblate and leave whole editing of the files there. For bilingual files, there is usually some kind of message extraction process to generate translatable files from the source code. In some cases this can be split into two parts - one for the extraction generates template (for example gettext POT is generated using xgettext) and then further process merges it into actual translations (the gettext PO files are updated using msgmerge). You can perform the second step within Weblate and it will make sure that all pending changes are included prior to this operation.

The second approach can be achieved by using API REST de Weblate to force Weblate to push all pending changes and lock the translation while you are doing changes on your side.

The script for doing updates can look like this:

# Lock Weblate translation
wlc lock
# Push changes from Weblate to upstream repository
wlc push
# Pull changes from upstream repository to your local copy
git pull
# Update translation files, this example is for Django
./manage.py makemessages --keep-pot -a
git commit -m 'Locale updates' -- locale
# Push changes to upstream repository
git push
# Tell Weblate to pull changes (not needed if Weblate follows your repo
# automatically)
wlc pull
# Unlock translations
wlc unlock

If you have multiple components sharing same repository, you need to lock them all separately:

wlc lock foo/bar
wlc lock foo/baz
wlc lock foo/baj

Nota

The example uses Cliente de Weblate, which needs configuration (API keys) to be able to control Weblate remotely. You can also achieve this using any HTTP client instead of wlc, e.g. curl, see API REST de Weblate.

Recibir cambios automáticamente de GitHub#

Weblate admite GitHub nativamente.

If you are using Hosted Weblate, the recommended approach is to install the Weblate app, that way you will get the correct setup without having to set much up. It can also be used for pushing changes back.

To receive notifications on every push to a GitHub repository, add the Weblate Webhook in the repository settings (Webhooks) as shown on the image below:

../_images/github-settings.png

For the payload URL, append /hooks/github/ to your Weblate URL, for example for the Hosted Weblate service, this is https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/github/.

You can leave other values at default settings (Weblate can handle both content types and consumes just the push event).

Recibir cambios automáticamente de Bitbucket#

Weblate has support for Bitbucket webhooks, add a webhook which triggers upon repository push, with destination to /hooks/bitbucket/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/bitbucket/).

../_images/bitbucket-settings.png

Automatically receiving changes from GitLab#

Weblate has support for GitLab hooks, add a project webhook with destination to /hooks/gitlab/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/gitlab/).

Recibir cambios automáticamente de Pagure#

Weblate has support for Pagure hooks, add a webhook with destination to /hooks/pagure/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/pagure/). This can be done in Activate Web-hooks under Project options:

../_images/pagure-webhook.png

Recibir cambios automáticamente de Azure Repos#

Weblate has support for Azure Repos web hooks, add a webhook for Code pushed event with destination to /hooks/azure/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/azure/). This can be done in Service hooks under Project settings.

Recibir cambios automáticamente de Gitea#

Weblate has support for Gitea webhooks, add a Gitea Webhook for Push events event with destination to /hooks/gitea/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/gitea/). This can be done in Webhooks under repository Settings.

Recibir cambios automáticamente de Gitee#

Weblate has support for Gitee webhooks, add a WebHook for Push event with destination to /hooks/gitee/ URL on your Weblate installation (for example https://hosted.weblate.org/hooks/gitee/). This can be done in WebHooks under repository Management.

Automatically updating repositories nightly#

Weblate automatically fetches remote repositories nightly to improve performance when merging changes later. You can optionally turn this into doing nightly merges as well, by enabling AUTO_UPDATE.

Enviar cambios efectuados en Weblate#

Each translation component can have a push URL set up (see URL de envío al repositorio), and in that case Weblate will be able to push change to the remote repository. Weblate can be also be configured to automatically push changes on every commit (this is default, see Enviar al consignar). If you do not want changes to be pushed automatically, you can do that manually under Repository maintenance or using API via wlc push.

The push options differ based on the Integración de control de versiones used, more details are found in that chapter.

In case you do not want direct pushes by Weblate, there is support for Solicitudes de incorporación de GitHub, Solicitudes de fusión de GitLab, Solicitudes de incorporación de Gitea, Solicitudes de fusión de Pagure pull requests or Gerrit reviews, you can activate these by choosing GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Gerrit or Pagure as Sistema de control de versiones in Configuración de componentes.

De manera general, las opciones siguientes se encuentran disponibles con Git, GitHub y GitLab:

Nota

You can also enable automatic pushing of changes after Weblate commits, this can be done in Enviar al consignar.

Ramas protegidas#

If you are using Weblate on protected branch, you can configure it to use pull requests and perform actual review on the translations (what might be problematic for languages you do not know). An alternative approach is to waive this limitation for the Weblate push user.

For example on GitHub this can be done in the repository configuration:

Interactuar con otros#

Consignas diferidas#

The behaviour of Weblate is to group commits from the same author into one commit if possible. This greatly reduces the number of commits, however you might need to explicitly tell it to do the commits in case you want to get the VCS repository in sync, e.g. for merge (this is by default allowed for the Managers group, see Lista de privilegios y roles incorporados).

Los cambios en esta modalidad se consignan una vez que cualquiera de estas condiciones se cumpla:

Consejo

Commits are created for every component. So in case you have many components you will still see lot of commits. You might utilize Concentrar consignas de Git add-on in that case.

If you want to commit changes more frequently and without checking of age, you can schedule a regular task to perform a commit. This can be done using Periodic Tasks in La interfaz administrativa de Django. First create desired Interval (for example 120 seconds). Then add new periodic task and choose weblate.trans.tasks.commit_pending as Task with {"hours": 0} as Keyword Arguments and desired interval.

Procesar el repositorio con secuencias#

The way to customize how Weblate interacts with the repository is Complementos. Consult Ejecutar scripts desde el complemento for info on how to execute external scripts through add-ons.

Mantener iguales las traducciones entre los componentes#

Once you have multiple translation components, you might want to ensure that the same strings have same translation. This can be achieved at several levels.

Propagación de traducciones#

With Permitir propagación de traducciones enabled (what is the default, see Configuración de componentes), all new translations are automatically done in all components with matching strings. Such translations are properly credited to currently translating user in all components.

Nota

The translation propagation requires the key to be match for monolingual translation formats, so keep that in mind when creating translation keys.

Comprobación de coherencia#

The Incoherente check fires whenever the strings are different. You can utilize this to review such differences manually and choose the right translation.

Traducción automática#

Automatic translation based on different components can be way to synchronize the translations across components. You can either trigger it manually (see Traducción automática) or make it run automatically on repository update using add-on (see Traducción automática).
