Pootle translations not making it to the nightly builds

[T.Knez]

After correcting some of the Swedish translations last thursday (1 March) at the Haiku Pootle site, I noticed that they never made it to the latest nightly release. Something might be broken in the Pootle export or the git import process.

Are they in this commit? ​https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/commit/?id=6285deba8eadcac7dea3bd84a20727fc3fba3210

Yes, they are! Just updated my system and my changes are there now. Thanks!

The issue was caused by a caching issue. Pootle only updates the underlying filesystem if the translations are newer than the file on disk. During the test migration, I already noticed that there was something off about writing back new translations to disk. I solved that by doing a one time forced synchronisation. After that, the sync with the disk seemed to work normally.

The automated synchronization failed yesterday, because the files were not updated on disk, and as such there were no new translations to be uploaded.

I will close this ticket for now. Please do reopen if next Saturday new translations do not seem to be uploaded to the repository.

I sure will. Thanks again.

I'm sorry to report that translations didn't get updated from Pootle this saturday either.

The Saturday script now always force overwrites the files on disk.

The translations are not making it to the nightly again. I made some changes a week ago and they havent been pushed to the nightly yet.

If a language is part of our exports, the strings will be exported weekly (Saturday 08:00 AM UTC) by our translation services. See ​this commit in our infrastructure repository
