Over at Fenerum we are currently translating our software into multiple new languages and while it worked fine for a while editing .po files by hand it is now becoming a show-stopper for getting things done.
We quickly decided to go with Transifex because we all knew it from earlier, but unfortunately it seems to have developed to become much more expensive and complicated than before.
In any case, I really don't like their approach by using their custom library to mark strings for translations inside our Django project. We want a solution which is not locked to a specific vendor, but relies on the built in Django translation framework and .po files. On top of that we also have some JSON files used by our frontend that needed translations.
I tried searching for a template to work with a standard Django project without any luck, so here it is:
filters:
- filter_type: file
file_format: KEYVALUEJSON
source_language: en
source_file: interface/web/src/locales/en/translation.json
translation_files_expression: 'interface/web/src/locales/<lang>/translation.json'
- filter_type: file
file_format: PO
source_file: project/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
source_language: en
translation_files_expression: 'project/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/django.po'
If you don't have frontend translations with JSON you can just move the first part.
You're welcome :)
