As the code for existing +features moves away from the old localization systems and starts using +`Fluent`_, we need to ensure that we don’t lose existing translations, which +would have the adverse effect of forcing contributors to localize hundreds of +strings from scratch. + +`Fluent Migration`_ is a Python library designed to solve this specific problem: +it allows to migrate translations from `.properties` and other legacy file formats, +not only moving strings and transforming them as needed to adapt to the `FTL` +syntax, but also replicating "blame" for each string in VCS. + +The library also includes basic support for migrating existing Fluent messages +without interpolations (e.g. variable replacements). The typical use cases +would be messages moving as-is to a different file, or changes to the +morphology of existing messages (e.g move content from an attribute to the +value of the message). + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + overview + legacy + fluent + testing + localizations + +How to Get Help +=============== + +Writing migration recipes can be challenging for non trivial cases, and it can +require extensive l10n knowledge to avoid localizability issues. + +Don’t hesitate to reach out to the l10n-drivers for feedback, help to test or +write the migration recipes: + + - Francesco Lodolo (:flod) + - Eemeli Aro (:eemeli) + +.. _Fluent: http://projectfluent.org/ +.. _Fluent Migration: https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/fluent-migration/ -- cgit v1.2.3
