CLI Usage

Extract Translatable Strings

To extract translatable strings from modules for a particular Fedora release (e.g. f29):

ModulemdTranslationHelpers --branch f29 extract [--pot-file <path>]

This will read all of the module metadata from the Koji build-system and convert the translatable strings to a portable object template (.pot) document.

Specify the destination for the output file with --pot-file.

Produce modulemd-translations YAML

To convert portable object (.po) files into modulemd-translations YAML documents that can be included in repodata:

ModulemdTranslationHelpers --branch f29 generate_metadata \
                           [--pofile-dir <path>] \
                           [--yaml-file <path>]

This will read all files with a .po suffix in the pofile-dir path and write the modulemd YAML to yaml-file.

API

ModulemdTranslationHelpers

The ModulemdTranslationHelpers package has two primary functions:

• get_translation_catalog_from_index()
• get_modulemd_translations_from_catalog()

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.get_translation_catalog_from_index()

This returns a babel.message.Catalog object containing all of the translatable strings from any module tagged with one of the passed tags. It can be passed to babel.messages.pofile.write_po() to create a portable object template (.pot) file.

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.get_modulemd_translations_from_catalog()

This returns an iterable of modulemd-translation objects generated from a set of paths to portable object (.po) files containing translation information.

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.Fedora

This package provides helper routines for dealing with translations in Fedora Modules.

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.Fedora.KOJI_URL

The URL to the standard Fedora Koji instance.

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.Fedora.get_fedora_rawhide_version()

Looks up which Fedora version the current Rawhide branch will become.

ModulemdTranslationHelpers.Fedora.get_tags_for_fedora_branch()

Gets the list of tags for modules in a given Fedora branch. (For rawhide, make sure to use the value returned from get_fedora_rawhide_version.)
