This is the toolset used at Softcatalà to build the translation memories for all the projects that we contribute to.

The toolset performs the following tasks:

• Download and unpack the files from source repositories
• Create a translation memory for project in PO and TMX format
• Produce a single translation memory file that contains all the projects

Web page of the project

• Python 2.7
• gettext
• Bazaar
• Subversion 1.7 or higher
• Git
• Ruby + (gem install i18n-translators-tools)
• Other requirements listed in requirements.txt

For Transifex's project (all projects with type transifex at projects.json) ask for credential at their Transifex servers the first time that they get executed. After the first execution, they get recorded in the .transifexrc file.

Flask configuration

After the execution a builder.log file is created with details for execution.

The file projects.json contains the description of the projects that are included in the translation memory.

If context is not provided (msgctxt), duplicated translations are not stored. As result, the first occurrence of a string is added to the memory, ignoring the rest. For this reason the projects with better translations are first in the json file.

The supported file types are: PO, TS and .strings files (transifex repositories only).

Located at src subdirectory:

builder.py (main program)

Builds the translation memory: downloads files, merge them and builds the final translation memory

compare-sets.py (for reporting propouses)

Compares two sets of the PO files and counts the words

Located at web subdirectory:

search

Scripts to create the Whossh index and enable the web application

download-memories

Generates the web page to download the memories

scripts

All the automation scripts to build the system automatically nightly

Located at root directory:

unittests

The unittest to check the funcitionality of different classes

integration-tests

tests that check if what has been generated contains errors

Merging the translation memory with a new file:

msgmerge -N tm.po new-pofile.po > final-pofile.po
