Managing translation of your source code

Notice: The plugin is currently in beta test phase. Currently it only works for Java resource bundle files (properties files).

Description

This plugin allows you to manage translations of your source code for different languages.

The objective is to support different file formats such as:

• Java ​resource bundle, currently the main goal.
• GNU ​Gettext (Portable Objects - PO), used for Python, C.

Specification

At first step it is intended for Java's resource bundle files; thus in this text only resource bundles / properties files are used. As there is a similar logic to Portable Objects (PO) it should be possible to adapt all requirements to them too.

The idea is to use properties files from subversion control, such as SVN. It should be parametrized in your trac.ini file, which files (possibly with an asterix as a wildcard) should be editable. These files should be displayed as a table like:

Key	English	Deutsch
Common.German	German	Deutsch
Common.Cancel	Cancel	Abbrechen

Workflow

When saving translations it should be committed to subversion control (when permissions are sufficient, e.g. as developer) or a diff / patch file should be created. This patch file should be stored at a specific place with a comment, so developers can review them and then adopt them by committing to version control.
