Hi everyone Back in 2019 there was an effort to get Sentence Collector to be localize-able. That effort died and now we have picked it up again. The initial set up in the project is ready. And a huge thanks goes out to @bozden who extracted all the English strings into the FTL file and adjusted all…

Hey Micheal, That’s soo cool to hear the sentence collector being localised. Congrats on the effort so far by yourselves and @bozden :sparkles: So I asked one of the L10N team how we could do this and they suggested the following: For firefox this has been possible, what they did was create a se…

Thanks Hillary. To me these two blocks sound like two different options. Maybe I’m understanding this wrong though, so here’s what I understand. Option 1 We set up a new project (analog to Common Voice) in Pontoon and link it with the Sentence Collector repository The strings would live in the Sen…

Michael, thank you for the summary. I vote for Option 1, having both under one project. This way, contributors would have one click to access to both types of content, not two separate ones. Like you said, you enable the language once in Pontoon, and you don’t have to juggle between two projects to …

I meant Option 2. Thanks for calling out. Would it be a significant dev work to streamline the process now? It might be lots of work upfront, but downstream, it is much easier to manage. I don’t understand the complexity of syncing issue you raised here.

Thanks for the input. I quickly talked to Jenny and she would prefer Option 2. She also reminded me that we don’t need to keep the translation files in sync in this repo, and we can fetch them when building and pushing the deployment. This means that there is less work in terms of synchronization, n…

Update By now most of the underlying tasks have been completed. In a few hours you will see the Sentence Collector strings pop up to be localized in Pontoon. We are not exposing a language switch dropdown yet, but we will do so soon depending on the progress of the translations. Remaining tasks: h…

That’s awesome! Eagerly waiting :grinning:

@mkohler , is “Sentence Collector” a brand name, or can it be translated?

That’s a very good question, hadn’t thought about that yet. While many resources will eventually be localized I think some will not be and therefore will be referencing to Sentence Collector in English. This for example includes Discourse posts. Treating it as a brand name might be the least confusi…

@pmo I think what you describe would be Option 2. Could you double check?
