Tails

@intrigeri:

I made a test and I can simply add the tails.pot file to another component in Weblate and it scanned the available translated strings in all languages unter po/*po. So it is possible and easy to handle those pot files via Weblate.

But we would need to accept Weblate to change files outside wiki/src to make this happen.

Sweet! I’m glad you checked feasibility on this front.

Indeed, that’s one of the things needed to implement this idea.

How about we brainstorm:

• the pros & cons of this idea
• the other things needed to implement it

?

Well as I nearly know nothing about the transifex workflow, I can’t tell what things needs to change additionally than updating the po files so I cannot really help here.
First I think we need to get Weblate more stable in order to think about to rely more stuff on it. I get a lot of 503 when I interact with Weblate so it does not make fun to use it at the moment.
