# Merging translations from CrowdIn
|
|
|
|
CrowdIn automatically syncs the `gitlab.pot` file with the CrowdIn service, presenting
|
|
newly added externalized strings to the community of translators.
|
|
|
|
[GitLab CrowdIn Bot](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-crowdin-bot) also creates merge requests
|
|
to take newly approved translation submissions and merge them into the `locale/<language>/gitlab.po`
|
|
files. Check the [merge requests created by `gitlab-crowdin-bot`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&author_username=gitlab-crowdin-bot)
|
|
to see new and merged merge requests.
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
By default CrowdIn commits translations with `[skip ci]` in the commit
|
|
message. This is done to avoid a bunch of pipelines being run. Before
|
|
merging translations, make sure to trigger a pipeline to validate
|
|
translations, we have static analysis validating things CrowdIn
|
|
doesn't do. Create a new pipeline at `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/pipelines/new`
|
|
(need Developer access permissions) for the `master-i18n` branch.
|
|
|
|
If there are validation errors, the easiest solution is to disapprove
|
|
the offending string in CrowdIn, leaving a comment with what is
|
|
required to fix the offense. There is an
|
|
[issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/23256)
|
|
suggesting to automate this process. Disapproving will exclude the
|
|
invalid translation, the merge request will be updated within a few
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
It might be handy to pause the integration on the CrowdIn side for a
|
|
little while so translations don't keep coming. This can be done by
|
|
clicking `Pause sync` on the [CrowdIn integration settings
|
|
page](https://translate.gitlab.com/project/gitlab-ee/settings#integration).
|
|
|
|
When all failures are resolved, the translations need to be double
|
|
checked once more as discussed in [confidential issue](../../user/project/issues/confidential_issues.md) `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/19485`.
|
|
|
|
## Merging translations
|
|
|
|
When all translations are found good and pipelines pass the
|
|
translations can be merged into the master branch. When merging the translations,
|
|
make sure to check the **Remove source branch** checkbox, so CrowdIn recreates the
|
|
`master-i18n` from master after the new translation was merged.
|
|
|
|
We are discussing [automating this entire process](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/19896).
|
|
|
|
## Recreate the merge request
|
|
|
|
CrowdIn creates a new merge request as soon as the old one is closed
|
|
or merged. But it won't recreate the `master-i18n` branch every
|
|
time. To force CrowdIn to recreate the branch, close any [open merge
|
|
request](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&author_username=gitlab-crowdin-bot)
|
|
and delete the
|
|
[`master-18n`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/branches/all?utf8=✓&search=master-i18n).
|
|
|
|
This might be needed when the merge request contains failures that
|
|
have been fixed on master.
