mmdzanata
Prerequisites
To install on Fedora 28+, run:
dnf install libmodulemd koji zanata-client

pip install mmdzanata or on Fedora 28+ with dnf install mmdzanata
(recommended).
CLI Usage
Zanata Client Setup
Use of the upload feature for string extraction requires setting up the
Zanata client appropriately. Follow the
instructions from
Zanata to set up your ~/.config/zanata.ini file appropriately. Note that
you will want to do this against
https://fedora.zanata.org
and not
https://translate.zanata.org
Extract Translatable Strings
To extract translatable strings from modules for a particular Fedora release (e.g. f29):
mmdzanata --branch f29 extract [--upload]
This will read all of the module metadata from the Koji build-system and
convert the translatable strings to a Zanata-compatible gettext document. If
--upload is passed, it will also attempt to use the zanata-cli tool to
upload the strings to the Zanata server. See the "Zanata Client Setup"
section above for information on how to configure this.
Produce modulemd-translations YAML
To read the translated strings from Zanata and convert them into modulemd-translations YAML documents that can be included in repodata:
mmdzanata --branch f29 generate_modulemd
This will produce a YAML file in the current directory with all known translated strings.
API
mmdzanata
The mmdzanata class has two primary methods:
- get_module_catalog_from_tags()
- generate_metadata()
mmdzanata.get_module_catalog_from_tags()
This returns a babel.message.Catalog object containing all of the translatable strings from any module tagged with one of the passed tags.
mmmdzanata.generate_metadata()
This returns an iterable of modulemd-translation objects from the supplied Zanata project and branch.
mmdzanata.fedora
This class provides helper routines for dealing with translations in Fedora Modules.
