Locale - translation

[kleanthisk10]

Hello,
I d like to add Greek translation to: http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/
I have added Greek translation here:
https://github.com/okfn/opendatasurvey/blob/master/census/locale/gr/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po

But it doesn't seem to work.
Is anything else that i should do?

I also need to translate the content (questions, datasets and places).

Hi @kleanthisk10,

Thanks for the effort. I tried a few times to fix and deploy translations and I had no luck. Now I raised this issue to our product team (cc @amercader @chris48s) so we will schedule this work if there enough resources as it doesn't seem to be a quick fix - something broken down the line.

Hi @kleanthisk10,

Good news! It seems we're back on track to being able to update translations. I've migrated the build pipeline to Github Actions and, currently, we can update messages.po and run make translate to update the codebase for a PR, and then I can deploy it.

http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/

PS.
To finish the translation it will be some back and forth adding new gettext calls to the code (if needed) and adding new msgid to the PO file. I can help with it, please PR as well

Hello @roll
Thank you! Great news! I will update the messages.po and PR the changes!
There are some parts that didn't change e.g. http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/submit/?place=athens&dataset=spending
Is there anything I missed from translation?

Hi, it seems there are not a part of the standard translations. I can update them using another method.

Can you please add these strings to PO as well? Like:

msgid "Section A - About you"
msgstr "Section A - About you (gr)"

Hello @roll I finished the missing translations #1180

[kleanthisk10]

Hello @roll it seems that there are still some issues.
http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/submit/?place=athens&dataset=elections

I created a PR #1182 where i translated again yes/no. The other strings are already translated in messages.po but not appear in site.

Hi @avdata99,

Maybe you can help us here?

[kleanthisk10]

Hi @roll @avdata99 is it possible to be resolved by the end of the week?

[avdata99]

Should we close this @roll ?

You did a a great job, thank you! We run the first workshops and we have more to complete the survey!
However there are some minor parts that didn 't turn into greek and i have included them in the translation PR.
You can see Section A e.g. here: http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/submit/?place=athens&dataset=elections

and also here http://gr-cities.survey.okfn.org/entry/komotini/spending/

How can we translate them? I think these are the last changes and we could close the issue.

Thanks, we will investigate after the break
