Migrating Strings From Legacy or Fluent Files
|
||
=============================================
|
||
|
||
IceCat is a project localized in over 100 languages. As the code for existing
|
||
features moves away from the old localization systems and starts using
|
||
`Fluent`_, we need to ensure that we don’t lose existing translations, which
|
||
would have the adverse effect of forcing contributors to localize hundreds of
|
||
strings from scratch.
|
||
|
||
`Fluent Migration`_ is a Python library designed to solve this specific problem:
|
||
it allows to migrate translations from `.properties` and other legacy file formats,
|
||
not only moving strings and transforming them as needed to adapt to the `FTL`
|
||
syntax, but also replicating "blame" for each string in VCS.
|
||
|
||
The library also includes basic support for migrating existing Fluent messages
|
||
without interpolations (e.g. variable replacements). The typical use cases
|
||
would be messages moving as-is to a different file, or changes to the
|
||
morphology of existing messages (e.g move content from an attribute to the
|
||
value of the message).

How to Get Help
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
Writing migration recipes can be challenging for non trivial cases, and it can
|
||
require extensive l10n knowledge to avoid localizability issues.
|
||
|
||
Don’t hesitate to reach out to the l10n-drivers for feedback, help to test or
|
||
write the migration recipes:
