Hi Bernardo,
you've described exactly the procedure we use. Today I was chatting on IRC with Cait and we were unable to find out how often the .po files are generated. For Koha 21.11, which I am now actively translating, the generation occurred on Friday 6/5 and today 9/5. Does this mean that the script does this every day? Or is the frequency different?
We have a script that downloads .po files from Pootle (for example https://translate.koha-community.org/export/21.11/cs/) and replaces the files on our Koha server disk. For this to work well though, we need to know how often the files in /export/version/cs change. Ideally this would be once a day. That would be perfect.
Thank you

Michal

Hi Michal,

we are working on how to efficiently fix (hotfix) translations on production servers with Koha. Generating .po files on package release seems slow to us. For active languages, would it be possible to generate .po files more frequently, e.g. daily? This would help us a lot.

one possible workflow would be to translate on the translation server, and then download the updated translation files to replace the ones that come in the packages.

For example, for version 20.05 and CS language, the files can be downloaded from
and used to replace the ones at
  /usr/share/koha/misc/translator/po/

Is that possible?

Bernardo
