ahh french folks - spaces 🙈🙈🙈 `[text] (link)` that does not work

emus: sorry, didn't check...

is fine, just for the next time

emus: this problem does not exist for newsletters since I have a script for that. Next time I translate something like gsoc page, I'll be careful 👀

sure

neox: I found those broken links in the newsletter translation ;)

wurstsalat: noooooooo 😭

😅

nicola: you posted a link recently?

nicola: havent received anything

ok link i found. do you post about the DMA too?

> nicola: you posted a link recently? Yes, here is the Italian translation: https://upload.adminforge.de/r/NVc5_1LnFH#44caXrsOniihmhaggVoseRJ7rWQz/JYei3Q/MPcJiQw=

> ok link i found. do you post about the DMA too? I hope. I’ll see tomorrow if I will be able to write something

nicola: cool

> nicola: cool 😉

Sorry for blaming the French folks here, today - it was me messing up in the begining I believe:

Ahh, it was in the newsletter I remember, too

anyway, we all messed up - great! 🙂

Hi folks! In order to present xmpp.org's blog posts in new languages, we need a little scaffolding. For newly added translations to Italian, I would need this file translated https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/blob/master/themes/xmpp.org/i18n/en.yaml It contains localized strings used for blog navigation, display of time, etc. Your help would be much appreciated! Maybe you could have a look, nicfab ? :)

wurstsalat, have you seen https://joinjabber.org/blog/translations-made-easy/ btw? I don't know if that's of interest here

I assume, but we are not yet there

And https://codeberg.org/joinjabber/website-hugo/src/branch/main/generate-translations.sh really

You'd still need the stuff you just linked to be translated in these files though, that's separate

pep., thanks, nice to see another markdown <> po converter with weblate and hugo integration :) I touched this topic various times while integrating weblate support for gajim.org and saw many different implementations, the biggest being https://invent.kde.org/websites/hugo-i18n

I've tried this one and it's really messy

I guess it works for their use case, and yours works for your use case :)

po4a makes it look like a walk in the park, especially when it's not you doing the work, because the documentation is a mess. And for hugoi18n it's non-existant

wurstsalat, actually I got that script from the darktable project

I almost just dropped it in our folder

I'm looking at it now

Plus I'm not really fluent with gettext (no pun intended)

The thing is that this will split your pages into chunks. I mean that's the whole point. But then translators need to refer themselves to the original page for context

does it cover shortcodes?

It "doesn't need to". Translators can add them back in the translation

hugoi18n did yeah, which was "nice"

I mean it did have some kind of support

I spent a full week trying to get hugoi18n to work and I gave up when I discovered the darktable script

Which made me solve the problem in a few hours

One thing that is annoying for translations this way, I guess it's already the case but it feels a bit more obvious here, is when using ref/relref for pages that don't exist yet. hugo will error out (generating the website still)

"doesn't need to" is meh, since translators happily translate your shortcode tags and poof :D

You can tell tools like weblate it's markdown. I mean po4a does it for you

Maybe someday I'll get to fix hugoi18n, but that's pretty far on my list

I would have had to patch it already because they require you to use a package name among kde project names

But yeah I was pretty sad that this issue just got ignored by the hugo maintainers

transifex has direct markdown support, but that's not gettext, and that's not a free software tool anyway

yep, it's a pretty long-standing issue of Hugo's i18n thanks for your hints :)
