PO-Projects 0.3.0

Django application to manage PO files for project translations

PO Projects is a PO file management factory.

Principle is to have a frontend board to create new PO project from a POT file to import, then add it and manage language translations then finally export all these PO to include it in your app (django or another).

Features

• View to create new project from a PO/POT file;

• View to create new project translation and edit them;

• View to export project translations as PO files;

• View to export an archive (zip/tarball) of all translations as PO files from a project;

• Manage fuzzy mode for translations;

• Form to import a catalog (PO) to update a catalog;

• Nice frontend with Foundation;

Planned

• Better model admin;

• Permission restriction (with django-guardian);

• User authoring to know who has done what;

• Restricted API access to get PO files or global project archive from external tools (like Optimus or a Django app from an external site) ?

External API access

We should need of two clients :

• One for Django webapp, shipped as a Django app that only exposes a command line tool, no needs of model;

• One for Optimus, allready shipped as a new command line tool;

The access to the API need to be protected and restricted to avoid that anyone can download and/or edit project translations.

API actions should be :

• Export project, this will send a tarball containing the locale directory to overwrite the one in the destination project (in the django or optimus project, not the translation project stored in Po-Projects);

• Receiving new POT file to update a project template and catalogs;

Install

Add PO Projects to your installed apps in settings :

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'po_projects'
    ...
)

Then add its settings :

# Use to build path and file names in exported archive for projects
POT_ARCHIVE_PATH = "locale/{catalog_filename}.pot"
PO_ARCHIVE_PATH = "locale/{locale}/LC_MESSAGES/{catalog_filename}.po"

# Available PO filename types
DEFAULT_CATALOG_FILENAMES = 'messages'
AVAILABLE_CATALOG_FILENAMES = ('django', 'messages')

Finally mount its urls in your main urls.py :

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    (r'^po/', include('po_projects.urls', namespace='po_projects')),
    ...
)
