Checklist for updating translations

There are two situations in which we create manual PRs to update translations:

1. We don't want to wait for Travis's automatic weekly update; or,
2. We need to add a language that has become ready

1. Updating translations manually

• Pull editor translations from Transifex with > npm run pull:editor
• Pull www translations from Transifex with > npm run pull:www
• Test the result with > npm run test
• Confirm that you see changes to files like editor/<resource>/<lang code>.json

Adding a language

• Edit src/supported-locales.js:

  • Add entry for the language in the locales const
  • Check if language is right-to-left. If so:
    • Add entry in rtlLocales

• Check if the new language uses a country code

  • Check https://www.transifex.com/explore/languages. If the language has a country code:
  • Edit src/supported-locales.js:
    • Add new entry to localeMap. Format is '<W3C HTML browser locale string>': '<Transifex ICU locale string>'
  • Edit .tx/config:
    • Add to the lang_map list. Format is <Transifex ICU locale string>:<W3C HTML browser locale string>
    • NOTE: we are moving away from using the tx cli; .tx/config will eventually be deprecated

• Edit src/index.js:

  • Add 'import' line
  • Add entry in localeData array

• Check if locale is in react-intl

  • Look in https://unpkg.com/react-intl/locale-data/
  • If not in react-intl:
    • Edit src/supported-locales.js:
      • In customLocales, add entry with parent set to a react-intl locale
    • Edit src/index.js:
      • In localeData, add entry for parent locale

• Update translations per the "Updating translations" section above

• Confirm that we see changes to:

  • src/supported-locales.js
  • src/index.js
  • .tx/config (if language needed a new locale)
  • Multiple files like editor/<resource>/<lang code>.json

• Bump minor version number in package.json

• Add language po files to scratchr2_translations

  • manually update scratchr2_translations/legacy with tx pull -l <locale> and check in changes

• Add language to scratchr2 settings

  • manually update settings/base.py with the new language

• Update scratch-blocks dependency

  • in package.json, update the version of the scratch-l10n dependency to the version number you used above
  • pull translations so that a new Blockly.ScratchMsgs.locales["<LOCALE CODE>"] is added to msg/scratch_msgs.js
