  • Location of translations for package description

    From c.buhtz@posteo.jp@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 20 14:30:02 2023
    Hello,

    there is a German package description https://packages.debian.org/de/bookworm/backintime-common

    this is also available in English https://packages.debian.org/en/bookworm/backintime-common

    It seems to me that the English version is extracted from the control
    file
    https://salsa.debian.org/jmw/pkg-backintime/-/blob/debian/debian/control

    But I'm not able to find the German (or any other translated) version in
    the source repo.

    Is this done on the fly in the back somehow?

    btw: I'm upstream maintainer of that package.

    Hi Christian,

    See https://ddtp.debian.org/ and https://wiki.debian.org/DDTP for information on the translation infrastructure for package descriptions.

    Bye,

    Dear Joost,

    thanks for the reply.

    I understand there is a project doing this manually.

    Puh... How do I say that? It is far away from being a documentation understandable by extern persons. I just want to understand how the translations are integrated in the packaging process.

    I assume from the side of upstream maintainers and debian maintainers no actions required. Correct?

    I also assume there is an automatic mechanism that the translations are
    marked as outdated when the original source (e.g. the control file on
    salsa) is modified. Correct?

    This feels much better then the wiki https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/ddtp.en.html

    I would guess so, indeed.

    (I am not involved in the project btw.)
