This command makes it easier to debug translations without the need to use the GUI. This should remove the most annoying step when debugging i18n issues for missing translations.
I'll update our Runbooks and this is a good thing to be contributed to the Open edX community.
Related: Problem with
xblock-utils:ProxyTransNode.merge_translation
methodThe
merge_translation
method isn't cleaning up after the merge and leaves stray translations in the following way:i18n.helpers.translate('fr_CA', 'Thank you.')
again returns the the translated 'Merci !' which means that themerge_translation
didn't clean up after itselfWorkaround: Call
translate
thenxblock_translate
in thetahoe_translate
command.Long term fix: Work with upstream to fix the cleanup process around
translation.activate(...)
as documented in #954
