[zanata-users] Import project: how to upload already translated languages

[Patrick Huang]

Hello Fernando, 

I suspect you are getting the trans-dir option (in zanata.xml it's <trans-dir> and if given by maven argument it's -Dzanata.transDir) wrong. Take a look at this mail thread https://www.redhat.com/archives/zanata-users/2015-April/msg00010.html 

When you push, it will log out all the information. For example: 
[INFO] Zanata command: push 
[INFO] Server: https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/ 
[INFO] Project: zanata-server 
[INFO] Version: master 
[INFO] Username: pahuang 
[INFO] Project type: properties 
[INFO] Source language: en-US 
[INFO] Copy previous translations: true 
[INFO] Merge type: auto 
[INFO] Enable modules: false 
[INFO] Include patterns: zanata-war/src/main/resources/messages.properties 
[INFO] Exclude patterns: 
[INFO] Case sensitive: true 
[INFO] Default excludes: true 
[INFO] Exclude locale filenames: true 
[INFO] Pushing source and target documents 
[INFO] Locales to push: [ar, as, bg, bn-IN, ca, cs, da, de-CH, de-DE, el, en-GB, es-ES, es-MX, fa, fi, fr, gu, he, hi, hr, hu, id, is, it, ja, kn, ko, lv, ml, mr, ms, nb, nl, or, pl, pt-PT, pt-BR, ru, si, sk, sr-Cyrl, sr-Latn, sv, ta-IN, te, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans-CN, zh-Hant-TW(zh-TW-Hant), af, am, az, bn-BD, cy, eo, et, eu, ga, gl, ka, lt, nn, ro, sl, sq, vi, ast, bs, nds, ky, la, mn, tl, xh, pa, mai, es, de, brx, ta, br, kk] 
[INFO] Current directory: /home/pahuang/work/root/server 
[INFO] Source directory (originals): /home/pahuang/work/root/server 
[INFO] Target base directory (translations): /home/pahuang/work/root/server 
[INFO] Found source documents: 
[INFO] zanata-war/src/main/resources/messages 

Take a look at your "Target base directory (translations):" value. For each found source document, Zanata will expect its translation file to be at "trans-dir + found source document relative path + plus locale + plus file extension". e.g. for translation file of our messages.properties document in de-DE, it will expect to see a file under "/home/pahuang/work/root/server/zanata-war/src/main/resources/messages_de_DE.properties". http://docs.zanata.org/projects/zanata-client/en/latest/ has more detail information. Let me know if you still couldn't work out how to get it to work.

> Hi,

> I'm working on i18n on our project. It is already on market and translated to
> 3 languages.
> All was done directly in properties file for each language, but now we want
> to review the translated strings and be able to work in groups, specially
> translators that don't know how to checkout/commit/update on a CVS.

> We've installed on our servers the zanata project and I was able to create a
> project, version, upload base strings through maven, and then download the
> translated ones to the correct places.
> This was done in one project, and is working really fine.

> The downside is that I wasn't able to upload the already translated files. In
> this case, as a proof of concept, I re-translated all strings (about ~400).

> But now I have larger projects, and those are the ones that we really need to
> translate, and have more than 4k strings.
> I've tried "mvn zanata:push" with pushType=both, trans and so on, but no
> success. It always upload only the base strings.
> I thought that maybe it does import only on first upload, so I've created a
> new test project and did the command there, but the same results: only
> original file was uploaded and translations were in 0%.

> How should I do to import the strings and start using zanata? What am I
> missing?
