Understanding Transifex¶
Translators use Transifex to translate the strings in the standard’s schema, codelist and documentation files from the source language (English) to other languages.
Projects and resources¶
Transifex is organized into projects, like OCDS 1.1. Projects contain resources, which contain strings to be translated.
Strings to be translated¶
From CSV codelists¶
In OCDS, the strings in the codelists resource are extracted from the CSV files in schema/codelists/*.csv. They provide the content for the codelist tables on the codelists page.
In OC4IDS, the strings in the infrastructure-codelists resource are extracted from the CSV files in schema/project-level/codelists/*.csv. They provide the content for the codelist tables on the codelist reference page.
From JSON Schema¶
In OCDS, the strings in the schema resource are extracted from the JSON files in schema. They provide the content for:
JSON Schema tables on the release reference and records reference pages
schema viewers on the release, release package and record package schema pages
translated JSON Schema files distributed with the documentation
In OC4IDS, the strings in the infrastructure-schema resource are extracted from the JSON files in schema. They provide the content for:
JSON Schema tables on the schema reference page
schema viewers on the schema browser and packaging data pages
translated JSON Schema files distributed with the documentation
From OC4IDS mappings¶
In OC4IDS, the strings in the infrastructure-mappings resource are extracted from the CSV files in mapping. They provide the content for the mapping tables on the pages in the CoST IDS and OCDS mapping section.
From Markdown files¶
With the exceptions of the above resources, each resource sources its strings to be translated from a single Markdown (.md) documentation file in the docs directory tree. These files provide the content for https://standard.open-contracting.org/latest/en/.
For example, the resource getting_started–contracting_process sources strings from docs/getting_started/contracting_process.md and provides the content for https://standard.open-contracting.org/latest/es/getting_started/contracting_process/.
