# Merging translations from Crowdin
|
|
|
|
Crowdin automatically syncs the `gitlab.pot` file presenting newly
|
|
added translations to the community of translators.
|
|
|
|
At the same time, it creates a merge request to merge all newly added
|
|
& approved translations. Find the [merge reqeust created by
|
|
`gitlab-crowdin-bot`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&author_username=gitlab-crowdin-bot)
|
|
to see new and merged merge requests. They are created in EE and need
|
|
to be ported to CE manually.
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
By default Crowdin commits translations with `[skip ci]` in the commit
|
|
message. This is done to avoid a bunch of pipelines being run. Before
|
|
merging translations, make sure to trigger a pipeline to validate
|
|
translations, we have static analysis validating things Crowdin
|
|
doesn't do. Create a [new pipeline](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/pipelines/new) for the
|
|
`master-i18n` branch.
|
|
|
|
If there are validation errors, the easiest solution is to disapprove
|
|
the offending string in Crowdin, leaving a comment with what is
|
|
required to fix the offense. There is an
|
|
[issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/49208)
|
|
suggesting to automate this process. Disapproving will exclude the
|
|
invalid translation, the merge request will be updated within a few
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
It might be handy to pause the integration on the Crowdin side for a
|
|
little while so translations don't keep coming. This can be done by
|
|
clicking `Pause sync` on the [Crowdin integration settings
|
|
page](https://translate.gitlab.com/project/gitlab-ee/settings#integration).
|
|
|
|
When all failures are resolved, the translations need to be double
|
|
checked once more [as discussed in this
|
|
issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/37850).
|
|
|
|
## Merging translations
|
|
|
|
When all translations are found good and pipelines pass the
|
|
translations can be merged into the master branch. After that is done,
|
|
create a new merge request cherry-picking the translations from EE to
|
|
CE. When merging the translations, make sure to check the `Remove
|
|
source branch` checkbox, so Crowdin recreates the `master-i18n` from
|
|
master after the new translation was merged.
|
|
|
|
We are discussing automating this entire process
|
|
[here](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/39309).
|
|
|
|
## Recreate the merge request
|
|
|
|
Crowdin creates a new merge request as soon as the old one is closed
|
|
or merged. But it won't recreate the `master-i18n` branch every
|
|
time. To force Crowdin to recreate the branch, close any [open merge
|
|
request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&author_username=gitlab-crowdin-bot)
|
|
and delete the
|
|
[`master-18n`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/branches/all?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=master-i18n).
|
|
|
|
This might be needed when the merge request contains failures that
|
|
have been fixed on master.
