Import report / Import log

[Jibec]

Steps to reproduce

1. Export your strings in CSV or whatever format you like
2. Edit the file
3. Upload it to Weblate

Actual behaviour

Weblate tells you about the number of updates, changes, errors, but gives no details.

Expected behaviour

It would be great to have an "import report", giving you every details, something like a log:

• "Source string one" was ignored because...
• "Source string two" was ignored because...
• "Source string three" was not found...
• "Source string four" was not found...
• [...]
• "Source string twenty" is now translated as "Vingtième chaîne source".
• [...]

In addition, I assume we should may have a single line in history to access this log instead of multiple lines.

It had this idea when testing #1547, because the user don't know for sure if his work is fully uploaded or not and to make changes manually in case of a rush. Note: as a workaround for this, we can still make a second export & search manually.

This really doesn't scale - let's take translations of Weblate as an example, those consist of 1684 strings. Do you think that showing 1684 messages will do any good?

For every changes yes. For unmatched strings, it's a warning, so yes also. For ignored, indeed, it may be useless. The relevant size of a component (number of strings) depends on the developers. 1600 strings is too much, you should probably split it. But it's no big deal. Is there much file import on hosted.w? Are you afraid of the database size?

Actually 1600 strings is somewhat usual (at least based on numbers I see on Hosted Weblate, the average is 1100).

The database size is not concern, but I would like to avoid storing things which nobody will ever use :-).

Fair point! But if import perfectly worked, it would probably be no used at all ;) Maybe a text file would do the job, and after a while, you'll decide weather it is much used or not. Access log will help use to see usage, and bugtracker will help to see if there is still issues to track. -- Jean-Baptiste Holcroft
