Rrjedha pune përkthimi

Using Weblate raises quality, reduces manual work, and brings everyone involved in the localization process closer to each other. It is up to you to decide how many of Weblate features you want to make use of.

The following is not a complete list of ways to configure Weblate. You can base other workflows on the examples listed here.

Përshtatje rrjedhe pune

In addition to configuration at Project configuration and Component configuration (as Aktivizoni shqyrtime, Enable suggestions, Votim sugjerimesh, and Prano vetvetiu sugjerime), the translation workflow can be customized per language.

Site-wide workflow customization can be done while Changing language definitions.

Per-project customization can be done on each language page of the project.

All workflow settings can be overridden, the only limitation is that Aktivizoni shqyrtime needs to be turned on and can only be disabled in the per-language customization.

The first existing setting applies:

  1. Project-language customization

  2. Language customization

  3. The project/component settings

Shënim

Please be careful when using site-wide override as that applies to all projects (unless they have own overrides for a given language).

The access control is not discussed in detail as a whole in the workflows, as most of its options can be applied to any workflow. Please consult the respective documentation on how to manage access to translations.

In the following chapters, any user means a user who has access to the translation. It can be any authenticated user if the project is public, or a user with Translate permission to the project.

Translation states

Each translated string can be in one of the following states:

Të papërkthyer

Translation is empty, it might or not be stored in the file, depending on the file format.

Lyp përpunim

Translation needs editing, this is usually the result of a source string change, fuzzy matching or translator action. The translation is stored in the file, depending on the file format it might be marked as needing edit (for example as it gets a fuzzy flag in the gettext file).

Në pritje të shqyrtimit

Translation is made, but not reviewed. It is stored in the file as a valid translation.

Të miratuar

Translation has been approved in the review. It can no longer be changed by translators, but only by reviewers. Translators can only add suggestions to it.

This state is only available when reviews are enabled.

Vetëm për lexim

String is read-only as a result of having read-only flag, being a non-editable source string, or marked such in the translation file.

Sugjerime

Suggestions are stored in Weblate only and not in the translation file.

The states are represented in the translation files when possible.

Ndihmëz

If the file format you use does not support storing states, you might want to use the Vëru shenjë përkthimeve të pandryshuara si “Lyp përditësim” add-on to flag unchanged strings as needing editing.

Përkthim i drejtpërdrejtë

The most common setup for smaller teams, where anybody can translate directly. This is also the default setup in Weblate.

  • Përkthime mund të përpunojë cilido përdorues.

  • Suggestions are optional ways to suggest changes, when translators are not sure about the change.

With dedicated reviewers you have two groups of users, one able to submit translations, and one able to review them to ensure translations are consistent and that the quality is good.

  • Any user can edit unapproved translations.

  • Shqyrtuesi mund të miratojë / shmiratojë vargje.

  • Reviewer can edit all translations (including approved ones).

  • Suggestions can also be used to suggest changes for approved strings.

Quality gateway for the source strings

In many cases the original source language strings are coming from developers, because they write the code and provide initial strings. However developers are often not native speakers in the source language and do not provide desired quality of the source strings. The intermediate translation can help you address this - there is an additional quality gateway for the strings between developers and translators.

By setting Kartelë gjuhe ndërmjetëse, this file is used for translating strings to the source language by translators/editors. Once this stage is done, strings are available for translations to target languages, based on what is now a polished source language.

digraph translations { graph [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10]; node [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10, margin=0.1, height=0, style=filled, fillcolor=white, shape=note]; edge [fontname = "sans-serif", fontsize=10]; subgraph cluster_dev { style=filled; color=lightgrey; label = "Development process"; "Developers" [shape=box, fillcolor="#144d3f", fontcolor=white]; "Developers" -> "Intermediate file"; } subgraph cluster_l10n { style=filled; color=lightgrey; label = "Localization process"; "Translators" [shape=box, fillcolor="#144d3f", fontcolor=white]; "Editors" [shape=box, fillcolor="#144d3f", fontcolor=white]; "Editors" -> "Monolingual base language file"; "Translators" -> "Translation language file"; } "Intermediate file" -> "Monolingual base language file" [constraint=false]; "Monolingual base language file" -> "Translation language file" [constraint=false]; }

Shqyrtim vargjesh burim

With Aktivizo shqyrtime burimi enabled, the review process can be applied for source strings. Once enabled, users can report issues with source strings. The actual process depends on whether bilingual or monolingual formats are in use.

For monolingual formats, source string review functions similarly to Shqyrtues enkas — once an issue with a source string is reported, the source string is marked as Needs editing.

Bilingual formats do not allow direct editing of source strings (these are typically extracted directly from the source code). In this case, a Source needs review label is attached to strings reported by translators. You should review such strings and either edit them in the source code, or remove the label.
