Transifex translations: we should not update from the _completed branches
ey there!
I think we should change the branches from where we pick up our translations coming from transifex.
The Tails resources being translated on transifex have usually two
branches each on https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/
For example, the resource translating WhisperBack has:
- https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/log/?h=whisperback
- https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/log/?h=whisperback_completed
This translations are imported with the ./import_translations.sh
## THE PROBLEM
As reported in https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26878 , the \_completed branches areonly updated when a resource is completed*, so a problem arises when:
- A translation is completed - the _completed branch is updated
- There are new strings on the file - the _completed branch is NOT updated
- Some of the translations are done, but not all - the _completed branch is NOT updated
While I welcome help to solve the tor ticket before, my suggestion for Tails is to pull from the normal branch, and use the _completed branch as a way of seeing the situation of the translation (how many times this file was completed? etc).
By not using the _completed branch, we will be having less outdated translations. Especially on the ‘long tail’ of languages.
