504277 - Allow updating all languages at once from SVN

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Verbatim, enhancement)

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Not sure if that makes sense in general, as all languages are "owned" by different people, but I feel like there should be a way (for an admin) to update all languages at once, and not having to click through each of them one by one.

[Seth Bindernagel]

Sorry, Fred.  Not understanding.  Please describe "updating".

Comment 2

[Dwayne Bailey]

@seth: yes I am watching these bugs :)

Updating here means taking the translated text and aligning it with the reference text.  So e.g. taking French and updating it to align with the reference Enlish text.  The new French would contain: all existing unchanged translation, any new text that needs translating, any text that changed that needs review and updating.

A one button click would allow an admin administrating 100 languages to do this quickly.

Yes, thanks for explaining that, Dwayne. Language admins can of course update their language from SVN whenever they like, but I noticed that in order to do that for all of them, I have to click through all locales by hand currently.

Dwayne.

is there a bug on locamotion for this? Is there a plan to work on this at all?

Comment 5

I actually think that what Dwayne described in comment 2 is a different bug, which I filed: bug 697428.

This bug should be about making it possible to update all locales in a project from SVN with a single click.  

Bug 697428 is about updating all locales in a project from templates with a single click.

Here is a bug where we tracked progress on a management command to do updates and commits from the command line:

Further work on simplifying things can hopefully follow soon.
