Automatically add word/translation to other components with same languages

[GabriFila]

Describe the issue

Hello, I have a question regarding managing of multiple translation targets

I need to provide translations for 3 frontends:

• iOS
• Android
• web

For each of them I need 3 languages (it,fr,en) the base one is English

Looking around the documentation and GH issues, I found the translation propagation feature.

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

No response

Expected behavior

I noticed that translations get only propagated across components when a key already exists in the same language of another component. I would like that when I add a new key to a language in a component, the key would automatically transfers to other components.

Is it possible? How?

Thank you very much

This issue looks more like a support question than an issue. We strive to answer these reasonably fast, but purchasing the support subscription is not only more responsible and faster for your business but also makes Weblate stronger.

In case your question is already answered, making a donation is the right way to say thank you!

The propagation works only while translating. For other cases you can use automatic translation. Either manually or via add-on.

[GabriFila]

Thank you for the fast response, can you please tell me how to implement the behaviour I described above using automatic translation add-on or point somewhere to find out how?

Thank you again

Enable the add-on to translate untranslated strings and taking strings from other components.

[GabriFila]

I have the following configuration (image) set in each component, but when I add a translastion from the UI on english language on one component I do not see the updated data on english languages of other components.
Am i missing something?

Thank you

I think it does not happen immediately, it runs nightly

[GabriFila]

Hello, I waited the night but nothing has happened, I will check maybe later (24 hours from the update).

But also the docs say the add-on is triggered:

• When new strings appear in a component.
• Once in a month for every component, this can be configured using BACKGROUND_TASKS.

So I guess it should be triggered right after a new string is added. is this a bug? How can I solve it?

Thank you

[nijel]

Yes, it's a bug, I've just fixed it in 30e2477.

Thank you!
How can I get the new version? Do I need to wait for the official release or I can specify to get a commit-specific image? In the case of the former, when will it be released?

[nijel]

If you installed using pip, you can install from Git right now. The Docker images are built nightly.
