<h3>A note about Transifex.net<a class="headerlink" href="#a-note-about-transifex-net" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Transifex 0.8 is a release of the open-source, community-powered Transifex
flavor. It is suitable for very large proejcts with their own existing
translation community, such as the Fedora Project, the GNOME Desktop etc.</p>
<p>Transifex is also offered as another flavor: Software-as-a-Service, at
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.transifex.net/">www.transifex.net</a>, ready to serve your translations with a few clicks.
Transifex.net is a one-stop, batteries-included hosted service serving
independent projects and businesses which don’t want to worry about deploying
their own Tx instance.</p>
<p>Tranisfex.net is managed by <a class="reference external" href="http://www.indifex.com/">Indifex</a>, the company sponsoring the development
of Transifex itself.</p>

<h3>What’s new in Transifex 0.8<a class="headerlink" href="#what-s-new-in-transifex-0-8" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>On to our new features now!</p>
<div class="section" id="translation-teams">
<h4>Translation Teams<a class="headerlink" href="#translation-teams" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>We’ve all been waiting for this one, so we’re proud to announce support for
<em>Translation Teams</em>.</p>
<img alt="../_images/teams-req.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/teams-req.png" />
<p>Starting with Transifex 0.7, translators could subscribe to projects and request
permission to edit and submit updates, etc. This happened on a per-project level.
Transifex 0.8 brings more collaboration and security, allowing for a more
fine-grained level access control.</p>
<p>With Transifex 0.8, translators can now create, join and lead a language
team for a particular project. Project maintainers can then delegate management
of a team to a language coordinator, who can be responsible for file submissions
and other language-specific bits.</p>
<p>Transifex retains the global access controls which had in version 0.7.
Maintainers can choose one of the following access methods for their project:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>Allow anyone to submit</strong>: All registered users on Transifex can submit a
file to the project.</li>
<li><strong>Restricted access</strong>: Team members can submit files to the languages the
team is responsible for, and project-wide users can submit files to all
languages. A maintainer can choose which users are global editors and which
are restricted to their team membership.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/teams-admin.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/teams-admin.png" />
<p>Here’s a breakdown of the new feature set:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Team members are allowed to commit files related to the specific
team, which usually means modifying files belonging to one of the languages
controlled by that team.</li>
<li>Teams can have coordinators which are chosen by the project maintainer. The
coordinator can approve or deny requests to join a team and, more or less, act
as a superuser for that particular team. They will also receive a notification
about anything happening to the team, the files it manages, etc.</li>
<li>Users can request the creation of a new team with the click of a button. The
maintainer can approve or deny that request.</li>
<li>The Team page sports a timeline of events. In the future it will
also show more and more team-related information such as statistics, watches,
etc.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/teams-homepage.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/teams-homepage.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="translation-reviews">
<h4>Translation Reviews<a class="headerlink" href="#translation-reviews" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Another big and exciting feature is translation reviews. Users can now
upload a file and put it under ‘review’. The file is kept on the Transifex
server until it is reviewed and either accepted for submission by an authorized
member (committer, team member) or rejected.</p>
<p>Reviews can be opened by anyone, just like tickets on bug reporting services.
This way, a team can accept files from more contributors (external ones), or
ask a new member to submit some work before gaining the ‘committer’ right and
become a official member of the team.</p>
<img alt="../_images/reviews-submit.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/reviews-submit.png" />
<p>Here are some more specific features:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Review requests can be opened by non-members for any project.</li>
<li>Team members can choose to submit a file for submission or for a
review, if they want to get feedback before committing it.</li>
<li>In any place where a normal file submission can take place, there is now an
option to open a review request (translate file, add a new file, web
editor).</li>
<li>Reviews preserve the submission message as their description, which, if the
review is accepted, is used as the commit message.</li>
<li>Translators can vote for the quality of a review request by scoring it
with thumbs-up or thumbs-down. They can also add comments to encourage the
reporter to submit an improved version.</li>
<li>Finally, privileged members can reopen a review request if needed.</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="rich-commenting-support">
<h5>Rich Commenting Support<a class="headerlink" href="#rich-commenting-support" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h5>
<p>Transifex now includes support for threaded comments across its base. Currently
this is enabled in Reviews, but support for comments will expand in many more
areas in the next version, enabling support for small discussion boards in
relevant pages (such as the team page for example).</p>
<img alt="../_images/reviews-open.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/reviews-open.png" />
<img alt="../_images/reviews-closed.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/reviews-closed.png" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="timeline-and-action-history">
<h4>Timeline and Action History<a class="headerlink" href="#timeline-and-action-history" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Full support for action history is now included in Transifex. All actions are
stored and shown to the interested parties where appropriate. Support for
pagination, filtering and sorting of the results is shipped out-of-the-box.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The project maintainer now has a new UI Tab on his project page to see
everything which has happened to his project (under <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><project_url>/log/</span></tt>).
This page is currently limited only to project maintainers.</li>
<li>Team members can keep up with the work of their teammates</li>
<li>Users are notified of anything that might interest them on their profile
page.</li>
<li>Transifex administrators have a special Admin page panel to get an overview
for the whole system.</li>
<li>Now it’s possible to get the top translators for a specific object, such as
a Project or Team, and also top translators across all registered projects.</li>
<li>Timeline can be filtered using time intervals such as ‘today’, ‘last week’,
‘last month’, ‘last year’, and ‘anytime’.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/timeline.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/timeline.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="project-releases-and-removal-of-collections">
<h4>Project Releases and Removal of Collections<a class="headerlink" href="#project-releases-and-removal-of-collections" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Transifex 0.8 introduces two radical changes in some of the core page and
model structure:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Projects can now have releases, like Django 1.1, Mercurial 1.4.1, or
Transifex 0.8. These releases are a group of components which belong
to either the release’s project itself, or even ones attached to other
projects.</li>
<li>Since a Project Release duplicates all features of what the Collections
Releases offered, we are removing completely the notion of ‘Collections’ from
Transifex.</li>
</ol>
<p>With Transifex 0.8, the ‘big-picture’ projects which used to be mounted under
‘collections’ will be a top-level Project, enjoying the multitude of features
existing there, such as teams etc. This allows Transifex, for example, to ship
a new version and include translation statistics of its dependencies, such as
the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django-profile</span></tt> upstream app. In short, Projects get benefited from the
collections features, and big-picture projects (which used to be named
collections) benefit from the rich features programmed into Projects.</p>
<img alt="../_images/release-detail.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/release-detail.png" />
<p>The rationale behind this big change is that Transifex used to support two
notions of “projects”: The Project as a “Software project” and the Collections
as a “Collection of software projects”. While the latter sounds perfectly
separated from the first, here are some of the benefits from treating all
projects as Projects:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>You don’t have to worry whether your project classifies as a Collection or
Project. It’s just a Project which ships releases which depend on other
Projects too. This way, both Transifex and Moblin are software projects.</li>
<li>All projects now enjoy the same features: maintainers, feeds, teams, language
coordinators etc.</li>
<li>Users can find what they want easier: they just search for their favorite
project and start translating it right away.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/release-edit.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/release-edit.png" />
<p>The migration of these data from 0.7 → 0.8 is manual, and should only take a few
minutes for a Transifex administrator.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="subversion-over-secure-http-https">
<h4>Subversion over secure HTTP (https)<a class="headerlink" href="#subversion-over-secure-http-https" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Up until now Transifex included commit support only for repositories over SSH.
This patch adds support for https repos, by allowing the administrator to
define the username and password for each 2nd-level domain he’d like
to serve. For example, we group together authentication for
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.example.com</span></tt>.</p>
<p>If you have repositories which cannot be served over svn+ssh and are
restricted to https, you can now define the credentials for each domain
(two-level hostname). For example to serve <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">svn.repos.example.com</span></tt> define in
your respective settings file:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">SVN_CREDENTIALS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="s">'example.com'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'myusername'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'mypassword'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>This feature should be used for trusted sources only in its current form,
and not with domains where users can add their repositories and monitor the
server requests in subdomains. This is because subdomains will still
receive the password, and if a user can create his own subdomain and monitor
the requests, it’s possible to see the password in plaintext.</p>
<p class="last">In short: if you need to use https, make sure it’s on a server with either
a single domain, or subdomains where users can’t access on a request level.</p>
</div>
<p>More details:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Authentication happens whenever needed by using a decorator.</li>
<li>If the domain grouping proves inadequate in the future (eg. because
of ‘.ac.uk’ domains, we’ll re-think the credential grouping then).</li>
<li>Credentials are not cached in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.subversion/auth/*</span></tt> to avoid problems if
they change</li>
<li>Pysvn is handling SSL warnings like valid certificates.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="weekly-maintainer-reports">
<h4>Weekly Maintainer Reports<a class="headerlink" href="#weekly-maintainer-reports" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Maintainers can now receive weekly notifications with statistics and
activity report for their projects. The frequency of the report delivery can
be configured by tweaking the respective cron job.</p>
<p>Here’s a snippet of how this report looks like:</p>
<div class="highlight-rest"><div class="highlight"><pre>Hello John, this is Transifex at http://www.transifex.net/.
I am bringing you the weekly translation report for your project 'transifex'.

<div class="section" id="user-nudging">
<h4>User Nudging<a class="headerlink" href="#user-nudging" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Added support for users ‘nudges’, an action intended to poke a user to wake up,

<p>This functionality requires the notification system to be enabled in the
settings, otherwise it is disabled automatically.</p>

<li>Filtering results based on the status (transalted, fuzzy, untransalted) is
back! w00t!</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/lotte-filtering.png" class="shot2" src="../_images/lotte-filtering.png" />
<ul class="simple">
<li>Added server-side pagination when editing a PO file.<ul>
<li>The translation form now uses a session wizard, which allows
the user to navigate through the several pages of a form, without
losing data and being able to commit the file at any time.</li>
<li>Several improvements have been made around the code as well, specially
where we create the file to be submitted. Now it’s using validated data from
the forms and the file is committed only if something really has changed in the
translation form.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Added support for <strong>PO plural fields</strong> in Lotte, and validation of their
content.</li>
<li>Support for <strong>PO msgctxt comments</strong>, giving context to the translator in order to
better understand what is required to be translated.</li>
<li>Merged all string contexts in one handy box, enabled with one click.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="../_images/contexts.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/contexts.png" />
<ul class="simple">
<li>Fix for #470 concerning users losing their work due to a MsgFmtError. Lotte
now <strong>emails the user</strong> with the broken file so they can fix it and re-submit
it manually, avoiding to lose any work.</li>
<li>Added <strong>support for source languages</strong> in automatic suggestions (#460),
enabling hundreds of different language combinations (eg. german to english
machine translation suggestion). Since the original language is set for each
component, that language code is now being used as the source language for
translation suggestion.</li>
<li>Added support to <strong>copy source string</strong> to translation, both for normal
strings as well as plural ones.</li>
<li>Textarea is now auto-resizable in the TranslationForm</li>
<li>Top pagination for Lotte (#492)</li>
<li>Support for <strong>searching</strong> in PO files.</li>

<h3>Getting Transifex 0.8<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-transifex-0-8" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>You can experience Transifex 0.8 live at the upstream instance hosted by
Indifex, at <a class="reference external" href="http://www.transifex.net/">http://www.transifex.net/</a>.</p>
<p>Project and community managers who want to deploy Transifex for their
own community can get Transifex in a variety of ways. A tarball is available
from the following locations:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The Transifex.org Download section: <a class="reference external" href="http://transifex.org/files/">http://transifex.org/files/</a></li>
<li>The Python Packaging Index (Cheeseshop): <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/transifex/">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/transifex/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>RPM packages for the latest versions of Fedora are or will soon be available
via yum. The same applies for RHEL 5, CentOS 5, and Scientific Linux 5, from
the <a class="reference external" href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL">Fedora EPEL</a> yum repository:</p>

<a class="reference external" href="../intro/install.html#intro-install"><em>Installation documentation</em></a>.</p>
<div class="section" id="the-transifex-appliance">
<h4>The Transifex Appliance<a class="headerlink" href="#the-transifex-appliance" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>If you want to play with the latest Transifex code, you may want to use our
development images for the Transifex Appliance. Following the stand-alone,
“batteries included” model of software appliances, you get a complete
Transifex system with all dependencies and services pre-configured so that
you can start experimenting with it right away. Choose from ISO, VMware or EC2
images, for both x86 and x86_64 architectures to run on a virtual machine,
dedicated server or using a virtualization software.</p>
<img alt="../_images/0.7_appliance_front_page.png" class="shot2 alcenter" src="../_images/0.7_appliance_front_page.png" />
<p>Your appliances can be updated using its own web based management system by
pointing your browser to the appliance’s IP using port 8003. Login with the
credentials ‘admin’ and ‘password’. Make sure to change the password once
you’ve successfully logged in.</p>
<p>This appliance version is based on the 0.8 branch of Transifex, where a couple
of projects have already been created for you to play with. Log in using either
guest/guest or editor/editor as your user name and password combination and
tinker to your heart’s content!</p>
<p>Make sure to read the documentation and file issues/send us your feedback.</p>

<h3>Upgrading to 0.8<a class="headerlink" href="#upgrading-to-0-8" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>To upgrade the code, update your package distribution as usual:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>If you installed from your package distribution, check if there’s been a
package upgrade and go for it.</li>
<li>If you used <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">easy_install</span></tt>, run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">easy_install</span> <span class="pre">-U</span></tt> to upgrade.</li>
<li>Fresh tarballs are available, if you installed from a release zipfile.</li>
<li>Finally, if you’re of the daredevil kind and feed straight from the source,
an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">hg</span> <span class="pre">update</span> <span class="pre">0.8</span></tt> should do the trick for you.</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="dependencies">
<h4>Dependencies<a class="headerlink" href="#dependencies" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>The following dependencies were <em>added</em> in this version:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Django >= 1.1</li>
<li>polib >= 0.5.1</li>
<li>django-ajax-selects</li>
<li>django-authority >= 0.3.1</li>
<li>django-filter</li>
<li>django-sorting</li>
<li>django-threadedcomments</li>
</ul>
<p>Instructions on how to install them can be found at the
<a class="reference external" href="../intro/install.html#intro-install"><em>Installation docs</em></a>. You’ll need to complete this step
before actually doing the database upgrade.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="database-migration">
<h4>Database migration<a class="headerlink" href="#database-migration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
<p>Transifex includes a script which will automatically migrate your database to
the new schema from the previous version. All you need to do, from a clean
0.7 schema, is run the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre>./manage.py syncdb
./manage.py migrate
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To upgrade from a 0.5 schema you first need to upgrade your schema to
0.6 and from there to the current release. Instructions for the first step can
be found in the relevant section of the
<a class="reference external" href="0.6.html#upgrading-to-0-6"><em>Transifex 0.6 release notes</em></a>.</p>
