1628362 - Create a POC Fluent recipe to migrate specific HTML nodes from a legacy string

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Localization Infrastructure and Tools :: Fluent Migration, task)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Once bug 1626976 is fixed, we still need to write code in the recipe to migrate specific nodes to new Fluent messages.

Example of legacy string:

<!ENTITY inadequateSecurityError.longDesc "<p><span class='hostname'></span> uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the server first before you can visit the site.</p><p>Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY</p>">

It should be possible to migrate this to:

inadequate-security-error-desc = <span data-l10n-name='hostname'></span> uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the server first before you can visit the site.
security-error-code = Error code: { $errorCode }>

The code should parse the original HTML and return the text of a specific node in the DOM fragment.

Not sure at which point replacements for data-l10n-name or variables should happen.

The bug_1734217_aboutNetError.py migration script that's a part of this patch includes a custom transformer that allows for migrating a single HTML-contentful message to multiple Fluent messages:
