I have developed a Django site for an open source project, with
contributors around the globe.
A brief aside/background: I have used django-cms to store the majority
of the content for the site, but rather than adopting its usual tactic
of translating a whole page at a time, have used {% trans %} and {%
blocktrans %} tags within the content, and written a script to dump
the database content into dummy HTML files so they get picked up by
django-admin.py's makemessages utility. This way translators don't
have to hunt for which line/paragraph within a large page has been
changed, nor worry about messing up the layout of the page when
translating.
Back to the point: this website will be translated into over a dozen
languages, and undergo regular content updates. I have written code
that runs django-admin.py makemessages (via subprocess.Popen, though I
suspect there is a better way to run it within python?) and allows the
download of the latest .po file for any given language. I would also
like registered/authenticated users to be able to easily upload their
updated translation files and have them automatically update the
website (using compilemessages). So when I make a change to the
website, I'd like the registered translators to be automatically
emailed, and asked to update their translations (again, simply
download and upload the new .po file via the website). This is easy
enough to do, and saves me a HUGE amount of work over the next few
years.
But the reason I am posting this: this is such a common procedure,
surely someone has written this stuff before? But I cannot find it
anywhere online. Isn't there a django-translation-management package
already written? Or should I create it once I finish coding? How have
other people streamlined this process?
