Mailman 3 Internationalization setup
by Abhilash Raj 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Hi All, Mailman 3 is now setup for continuous internationalization. We are using Hosted Weblate[1], which is the hosted service for the Weblate project[2]. It is actually quite nice and I've been learning how to properly document a Django project from it's documentation. Which brings me to it's documentation. Weblate has great documentation for translators[2]. The UI pretty simple and should be easy to navigate around. We have setup the workflow in a way that each commit in Gitlab generates a webhook and updates Weblate. Weblate is then able to pull all the changes in real time. To pull translations back into Gitlab, I have a custom script running every night that pulls translations (as commits) and generates pull requests against the upstream repos. Weblate has the ability to automatically push the translations back, but for security reasons, I didn't want to give a 3rd party service direct push access to our repos. I've been working on a Patch to Weblate[3], which would allow it to send translations as Merge Requests (as compared to direct-push). After it is merged and deployed at hosted.weblate.org, I hope I can retire my custom script. We have setup the following projects: - Mailman Core (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/mailman/) - Postorius* (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/translations/) - Hyperkitty (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/hyperkitty/) - Django-mailman3 (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/django-mailman3/) There should be empty .po files generated for most languages supported by Django and Mailman Core. If there are any questions or bugs related to source strings, please send out an email to mailman-developers(a)python.org. The current translation %age is pretty low, hopefully we'll be ale to get it close to Mailman 2 sometime soon :) [1]: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnu-mailman/ [2]: https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/translating.html [3]: https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/3024 [*] Yeah, the URL for Postorius is a bit weird, because it was called "translations" before. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a project and a translation component in Weblate terminologies. And they don't give out permissions to change the URL, so we're maybe stuck with it. -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

Re: [Mailman-i18n] [Branch ~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1] Rev 1821: I18n updates for recent changes.
by Yasuhito FUTATSUKI 05 Oct '19

05 Oct '19

Hi, I found change of r1820 and r1821 added new msgid "Successfully unsubscribed:", however there already exist msgid "Successfully Unsubscribed:" which have msgstr in some language translations. Isn't it better to unify those msgids? ... Or I think it is safe to remove "#, fuzzy" mark for "Successfully unsubscribed:" in po files in some (all?) languages if exists msgstr for "Successfully Unsubscribed:". Thanks, -- Yasuhito FUTATSUKI <futatuki(a)poem.co.jp>

Mailman 2.1.18 Security fix release
by Mark Sapiro 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

This is a heads up. There is a recently identified minor security issue in Mailman 2.1.27 and earlier. This is not something that allows permanent compromise or information leak from your site, but is something that needs to be fixed. This issue has been given CVE ID CVE-2018-13796. I plan to release Mailman 2.1.28 on 24 July, 2018 along with details of the issue and a patch to apply to earlier releases. This is just notification of that plan for those that need to plan ahead. Also, if you are a Mailman translator and you have any updates to your translation, please submit them in some form prior to 24 July so they can be incorporated in the release. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Saluton al ĉiuj! My name is Rubén Fernández and I'm setting up a Mailman server at https:// poshto.esperanto.cat/listejo/listinfo. My version is 2.1.20. I'd like to translate Mailman into Esperanto. I've contacted the Language Champions Marcio Malacarne <malacarne NO AT HARVEST cce DOT ufes DOT br> and Sergey Tyrin <interdist NO AT HARVEST myrealbox DOT com>, but they haven't replied at all. In fact, Marcio's address is unavailable. How should I start? Rubén
