The standard’s page for Translation

The instructions below are similar to others in ocds-extensions-translations. They will, at minimum, pre-translate the text from the unextended schema and codelists.

Pre-translate a profile

One-time setup

1. Install translate-toolkit:

   brew install translate-toolkit
   

2. Install python-Levenshtein:

   eval $(brew --prefix translate-toolkit)/libexec/bin/python -m pip install python-Levenshtein
   

3. Clone the standard and ocds-extensions-translations repositories into the same parent directory:

   git clone git@github.com:open-contracting/standard.git
   git clone git@github.com:open-contracting/ocds-extensions-translations.git
   

Each-time setup

1. Set the globstar option (requires Bash 4 or greater):

   shopt -s globstar
   

2. Set the lang and wip environment variables, for example:

   lang=es
   wip=path/to/profile/from/standard
   

Prepare the compendia

1. Change to the standard directory, then prepare a compendium:

   git checkout 1.1
   git pull --rebase
   msgcat --use-first docs/locale/$lang/**/*.po > $wip/$lang-standard.po
   git checkout 1.2-dev
   

2. Change to the ocds-extensions-translations directory, then prepare a compendium. For example, for OCDS for PPPs 1.0.0-beta3:

   git checkout main
   git pull --rebase
   tx pull -w 20 -f -a
   for extension_version in bids/v1.1.5 charges/master documentation_details/master finance/master location/v1.1.5 metrics/1.1 milestone_documents/v1.1.5 performance_failures/master project/master risk_allocation/master shareholders/master signatories/master tariffs/1.1 ppp/master; do
     msgcat --use-first locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/$extension_version/**/*.po > $lang-$(echo $extension_version | tr '/' '-').po
   done
   msgcat --use-first $(ls $lang-*.po) > $wip/$lang-extensions.po
   rm -f $lang-*.po
   

3. Change to the profile’s directory, then prepare a compendium:

   if [ -d docs/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES ]; then
     msgcat --use-first $lang-standard.po $lang-extensions.po docs/locale/$lang/**/*.po > $lang.po
   else
     msgcat --use-first $lang-standard.po $lang-extensions.po > $lang.po
   fi
   

Pre-translate the profile

1. Update the profile:

   ./script/update
   ./script/diff
   ./manage.py update
   

2. Create the POT files:

   make extract
   

3. Re-create the PO files:

   rm -rf docs/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES
   sphinx-intl update -p build/locale -d docs/locale -l $lang
   

4. Pre-populate the PO files:

   cd docs/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES
   for f in **/*.po; do
     pretranslate --nofuzzymatching -t ../../../../$lang.po ../../../../build/locale/${f}t $f
   done
   cd ../../../..
   

5. Count untranslated messages:

   pocount --incomplete docs/locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES | tail -n 10
   

6. Clean up:

   rm -f $lang-standard.po $lang-extensions.po $lang.po
   

Technical implementation of translation

The standard’s page for Technical implementation of translation

• babel_ocds_codelist.cfg indicates the codelist CSV files in the consolidated extension and the patched OCDS (schema/*/codelists/*.csv) from which to extract strings to translate.

• babel_ocds_schema.cfg indicates the JSON Schema files in the consolidated extension and the patched OCDS (schema/*/*-schema.json) from which to extract strings to translate.

• conf.py calls translate to translate the JSON Schema files and codelist CSV files from schema/profile to build/<lang>, and from schema/patched to docs/_static/patched.
