Transifex

• Fred got a local instance of Transifex for AMO
  • devs very helpful in bug tracker and IRC (#transifex on freenode)
  • Online PO editor does not cut off at 100 strings anymore in the dev version
  • Commits as Transifex user only, filed bug to introduce "author change" functionality to Transifex
  • Doesn't handle broken .po files well. Rejects uploads without saying *what* is wrong. Online editor doesn't save anymore if the file was broken up-stream.
  • Mozilla i18n format is planned, but not "soon".
  • Verdict:
    • Not tightly bound to .po though a) online editor works with .po only for now b) no other format is currently well supported
    • Getting other formats in is possible but not trivial
    • Stats come for free

Actions

• Fred
  • Set up Transifex "staging" instance on sm-cms01
