Summary

A taskotron task to check packaged translations with respective translation platform about whether they are latest?

Owner

Current status

Detailed Description

Often even after 100% translation, few packages do not get build with latest translations in Fedora. Transdiff would be a taskotron check about the same. Starting with fedora zanata looks feasible.

Benefit to Fedora

  • Automated testing about latest translations for Fedora packagers.


Scope

  • Proposal owners: Complete script and package it for Fedora.
  • Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Upgrade/compatibility impact

N/A (not a System Wide Change)

How To Test

  • Run script with libtaskotron.
  • More details TBD

User Experience

Package maintainers may appreciate a translation check in build system.

Dependencies
