Project summary

This is Google Summer of Code 2010 project which attempts to implement a translation application including heavy integration with Transifex.net web service and offline working support.

Done

• Logging into Transifex, session management, CSRF tokens
• Browsing projects/components/files/languages
• Pulling PO-files, storing them locally, pushing PO-files back to server
• Editing PO-files (via polib), Google Translate, update PO-file metainfo
• Transifex file locking
• Qt4 models, views, threading, dialogs

Progress since midterm evaluation:

• Better icons so they would fit in better with N900
• Clean up menus, for example "Exit" is unneccessary
• Better undo capabilities, at least allow reverting to original string once in string editor window
• Improve locking logic, for example "Forget changes" upon closing the file should unlock the file
• Show translation completeness (percentage in PO file list)
• Check internet connectivity
• Opening and saving local PO-files

To-do

• Do caching properly so after pulling files user could edit them offline
• Add support for projects with multiple files for same language
• Better error checking: if locking fails, if file is not in utf8
• Pushing and locking in background
• Make Transifex interface pluggable so string-level API could be dropped in easily afterwards.
