[PATCH 0/9] Incremental po/git.pot update and new l10n workflow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ævar and I started discussing this topic (incremental po/git.pot update
and new l10n workflow) on a GitHub issue[^1] a month ago. There are
several improvements to the l10n workflow:

* Variable "LOCALIZED_C" is not stable, that cause the "po/git.pot" file
  generated by different user may have different number of entries.
  This issues is fixed in patch 2/9.

* Generate "po/git.pot" in an incremental way, so we do not need to munge
  source files in-place, do not need a clean checkout, and do not need
  "reset --hard". See patch 3/9.

* Remove file "po/git.pot" from tree. It can be generated at runtime.
  See patch 5/9, 6/9.

* L10n contributors can update theire "po/XX.pot" using:
  "make po-update PO_FILE=po/XX.po". See patch 7/9.

* L10n contributors for new language can initialize "po/XX.pot" using:
  "make po-init PO_FILE=po/XX.po". See patch 8/9.

* L10n contributors can start translations at any time, even before the
  l10n announcing l10n window open. We must have a new l10n workflow,
  see patch 9/9.

@Ævar, range-diff between your worktree[^2] and this.

         Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard"
     
    -    Change "make pot" to work on copies of the working tree files in a new
    -    ".build/pot/" directory, instead of altering them in place and doing a
    -    "reset --hard" afterwards.
    -
    -    This both speeds up the "make pot" target on an initial run, and makes
    -    it *much* faster for incremental runs, and will allow us to implement
    -    related targets in subsequent commits.
    +    Before commit fc0fd5b23b (Makefile: help gettext tools to cope with our
    +    custom PRItime format, 2017-07-20) we'd consider source files as-is
    +    with gettext, but because we need to understand PRItime in the same way
    +    that gettext itself understands PRIuMAX we'd first check if we had a
    +    clean checkout, then munge all of the processed files in-place with
    +    "sed", generate "po/git.pot", and then finally "reset --hard" to undo
    +    our changes.
    +
    +    By generating "pot" snippets in ".build/pot/po" for each source file
    +    and rewriting certain source files with PRItime macros to temporary
    +    files in ".build/pot/po", we can avoid running "make pot" by altering
    +    files in place and doing a "reset --hard" afterwards.
    +
    +    This speed of "make pot" is slower than before on an initial run,
    +    because we run "xgettext" many times (once per source file), but it
    +    can be boosted by parallelization. It is *much* faster for incremental
    +    runs, and will allow us to implement related targets in subsequent
    +    commits.
     
         When the "pot" target was originally added in cd5513a7168 (i18n:

         target, 2014-08-22) when it was made to depend on "FORCE". I.e. the
         Makefile's dependency resolution inherently can't handle incremental
         building when the target file may be updated by git (or something else
    -    external to "make").
    -
    -    So we still need a FORCE on po/git.pot, but now we'll have that target
    -    copy ".build/pot/git.pot" to "po/git.pot", and the former doesn't need
    -    FORCE.
    -
    -    I think 1f31963e921 was confused in the rationale for adding "FORCE"
    -    though, it's needed for the reasons noted above, but it's got nothing
    -    to do with how we do C compilation or find headers, which it suggest
    -    is the case. It was also made as a preparatory change for
    -    d85b0dff729 (Makefile: use `find` to determine static header
    -    dependencies, 2014-08-25).
    -
    -    Unlike the compiler, when we generate the "pot "file we won't recurse
    -    from one header file to another, we only consider the specific targets
    -    we're given, so if we miss a bar.h included via foo.h $(LOCALIZED_C)
    -    the FORCE won't help us.
    +    external to "make"). But this case no longer applies, so FORCE is no
    +    longer needed.
     
         That out of the way, the main logic change here is getting rid of the
         "reset --hard":
     
    -    Before fc0fd5b23bc we'd consider source files as-is with gettext, but
    -    because we need to understand PRItime in the same way that gettext
    -    itself understands PRIuMAX we'd first check if we had a clean
    -    checkout, then munge all of the processed files in-place with "sed",
    -    generate "po/git.pot, and then finally "reset --hard" to undo our
    -    changes.
    -
    -    We didn't need to do this for the *.perl and *.sh files, so let's
    -    skip that and only do it for the *.[ch] files.
    -
    -    Let's then create these munged *.[ch] files in a tree in .build/pot/"
    -    corresponding to our source tree, and have "xgettext" consider
    -    those. The rule needs to be careful to "(cd .build/pot && ...)",
    -    because otherwise the comments in the po/git.pot file wouldn't refer
    -    to the correct source locations (they'd be prefixed with
    -    ".build/git/").
    -
    -    We'll then generate intermediate .build/pot/po/% files from %, which
    -    is handy to see at a glance what strings (if any) in a given file are
    +    We'll generate intermediate .build/pot/po/%.po files from %, which is
    +    handy to see at a glance what strings (if any) in a given file are

    -            $ make .build/pot/po/pretty.c
    +            $ make .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po
                 [...]
    -            $ cat .build/pot/po/pretty.c
    +            $ cat .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po
                 #: pretty.c:1051
                 msgid "unable to parse --pretty format"
                 msgstr ""
                 $
     
    +    For these C source files which contain the PRItime macros, we will
    +    create temporary munged *.c files in a tree in ".build/pot/po"
    +    corresponding to our source tree, and have "xgettext" consider those.

    -    The removal of the "--msgid-bugs-address" here and the addition of
    -    "--omit-header" and ".build/pot/pot.header" is because we'll now
    -    always carry forward the existing po/git.pot header.
    +    While we could rename the "pot" snippets without the ".po" extention
    +    to use more intuitive filenames in the comments, but that will

    -    doesn't matter, we'll even update the timestamp in the header as

    +    The addition of "--omit-header" option for xgettext makes the "pot"
    +    snippets in ".build/pot/po/*.po" smaller. For the pot header of
    +    "po/git.pot", we use xgettext to generate a "pot" header file
    +    ".build/pot/git.header" from an empty file at runtime, and use this
    +    header to assemble "po/git.pot".

    -    i18n: migrate to line-number-less i18n workflow
    +    l10n: Document the new l10n workflow
     
         Change the "flow" of how translators interact with the l10n repository
         at [1] to adjust it for a new workflow of not having a po/git.pot file
    @@ Commit message
         "master" is usually pretty small, so perhaps translators can just work
         on "master" instead.
     
    -    This also required pulling in some parts of the git-po-helper[1]
    -    logic, in particular the creation of the "core pot" added in its
    -    9efa9a5 (New option --core for init to create core po/pot file,
    -    2021-04-26). As the Makefile changes here show doing so is rather
    -    trivial now that the po/git.pot is generated in the ".build"directory.
    -
    -    We also need to add a new "po-init" target, which replaces both the
    -    "git-po-helper init" and the the instructions for manually munging the
    -    msginit'd file that I added in 5e9637c6297 (i18n: add infrastructure
    -    for translating Git with gettext, 2011-11-18). Now to e.g. create a
    -    new Faroese translation:
    -
    -        make po-init PO_FILE=po/fo.po
    -
    -    We can furthermore delete the po/pot.header file. We've been relying
    -    on the git.pot to provide a template for us (which msginit implicitly
    -    picks up), but now we don't need to carry it around anymore. We'll
    -    instead munge the msginit'd output appropriately.

    ++  translation context easily.
     +
    -+Or, if you use translation software such as Emacs's `po-mode.el` which
    -+allows you to open source code references skip the `--no-location` and
    -+instead add do:
    ++Once you are done testing the translation (see below), it's better
    ++to commit a location-less "po/XX.po" file to save repository space
    ++and make a user-friendly patch for review.

    -+```shell
    -+msgmerge --backup=off -U XX.po git.pot
    -+```
    ++To save a location-less "po/XX.po" automatically in repository, you
    ++can:
     +
    -+Once you are done testing the translation (see below) remove the line
    -+generated numbers (if any) from the translation. You can skip this if
    -+you used `--no-location` above.
    - 
    -+To do this safely first commit your work in `XX.po`. Then:
    ++- Define new attribute for "po/XX.po" by adding new line in
    ++  ".git/info/attributes":
     +
    -+```shell
    -+msgcat --no-location XX.po >XX.po.tmp && mv -v XX.po.tmp XX.po
    -+```
    ++        /po/XX.po filter=gettext-no-location
    ++
    ++- Define driver for "gettext-no-location" filter:
     +
    -+This should result in a file where all the auto-generated line numbers
    -+have been removed, and `make check-po` should now pass. Now either
    -+commit it, or amend it into the commit you made earlier.
    ++        $ git config --global filter.gettext-no-location.clean \
    ++              "msgcat --no-location -"
     +
     +You're now ready to ask the l10n coordinator to pull from you.
