Launchpad itself

"Translations for this project are done in Launchpad" enabled but "This project is not configured"

Asked by sandro dentella

Hi,
 I would like to use launchpad to translate a library I wrote; so, following the help instructions, I proceeded as follows:
- I created a new project[1]
- selected "Translations for this project are done in Launchpad" in the "project settings"
- uploaded the template files .pot and a .tar.gz.

I understand that committing ".po" requires few days and committing a ".pot" template requires longer but what I cannot understand is why, when I surf this url[1], launchpad says :

  This project is not configured to use Launchpad for translations.
  You can change this in the project settings.

The option is activated, what else should I do? Is this message template-upload related?

Thank you in advance for answers :)

Yes, that message is there because your template has not been imported yet. I admit, it is a bit confusing.

I just approved the template and it should get imported soon. I used the last entry which obviously came from the tarball since it had a directory with the file name.

The only translation I can see is it_IT which has not been approved yet and won't be because we do not support "it_IT" as a locale, just plain "it". Please rename the file and upload the tarball again. It should then all work out fine.

You can follow the state of you imports here: https://translations.launchpad.net/sqlkit/+imports

ok, I renamed my ".po" to "it.po" and uploaded.

I'll wait for the next approval.

Thanks

OK, I approved that file. I thought you'd have used a tarball again but the path "sqlkit" was missing from the file name. I added that to stay consistent.
BTW, your best bet is always to upload directly to the template using this URL:
https://translations.launchpad.net/sqlkit/trunk/+pots/sqlkit/+upload
