Sort translators by language (solved); update translators list (open)

[Fat-Zer]

I want to suggest to sort translators by language on the corresponding about tab rather than by name.

Also we may want to utilize Qt's QLocale for list of languages/countries rather than maintain our own. On the down site we may loose some distinguish between language variants for situations where Qt considers some country «most appropriate», but it's traditionally not so (are there any?).

What are your thoughts?

[tsujan]

This had been suggested also elsewhere and, IMHO, is the natural thing to do.

[Fat-Zer]

@tsujan, was it «yes» for both, reordering translators and utilization of QLocale or only the first one?

The first but @agaida's opinion is more important; everything about translations is done by him.

[agaida]

I didn't do esp. that part - but i like the idea. Right now i have no clue how the translators list work.

Right now i have no clue how the translators list work.

It's just *.info files which compiled directly into binary as resources. It looks like they were not updated for more than a year by now (I assume it's the time of weblate integration).

I assume it's the time of weblate integration

That is not possible with those files as they are not translations in any format weblate can handle.

In fact those files are the only ones left which weblate doesn't handle.
In weblate I added the info: https://translate.lxqt-project.org/projects/lxqt-configuration/#information

One thing that Weblate GUI can produce ( for a specific period of time, here "this year") is this (txt, json or html):

That is not possible with those files as they are not translations in any format weblate can handle.

For the record, I meant that it wasn't updated since all the translation moved to the Weblate.

But everything can be solved by a little bit of coding ;). e.g. you may create a custom extension for Weblate. Although, I'd suggest to use some format from this age for that i.e. JSON or XML.

PS: Also It looks like, you lost some data on the Weblate over time. e.g. it seems my account was completely removed somewhere around January 2020. How persistent is Weblate data actually? Was it one-time data loss or there are some periodical cleanups of inactive users or their actions/history?

PPS: (offtop) Also as for now all source code links are seems to be broken on the Weblate.

[stefonarch]

There is a PR on the road which will solve all:
#141

And we lost not only weblate but everything on lxqt.org lxqt/lxqt#1829
Bus factor of 1 was the reason.
The weblate instance is new from scratch, and no data coluld be imported.

I implemented in some components the source code browser but it looks like this has to be done manually and takes a lot of time. If you like to help with that I can give you more permissions :)
