Description

We're wasting other people's time here if we ask them to translate our settings. It's also been a problem to have settings translated whey we were not expecting them, see https://projects.artefactual.com/issues/10256.

Unless they are UI labels. Are there other cases?

It's probably a matter of tweaking QubitI18nConsolidateExtract.class.php.

Hi Sevein,

Looking at the settings, we have two scopes that should allow translations: 'ui_label' and 'access_statement', and a couple of settings more: 'siteTitle' and 'siteDescription'. So I was thinking in adding a new column (translatable) to the setting table. But in the end it looks like the only ones handled via fixtures are the 'ui_label' settings, so adding an "$item['scope']" check in this case may be enough for the moment.

Do you have other ideas?

I think the extra column could be a better solution but I agree, it seems overkilling. However, the simplest alternative introduces more complexity for the future developer. If you put software maintainability first you'd probably go with the solution that doesn't require a new developer to know about an extra change in QubitI18nConsolidateExtract.

An alternative could be to add a new static property to the very top of QubitSetting listing the settings (by their names or scopes) that can be translated - similar to the `$lockedTaxonomies` member of QubitTaxonomy. Would that work? At least it would be more visible.

Hi Dan, to test this I think we should wait until the next Transifex push and, if setting values like 'pdf', 'inventory-sumary', etc. are not available to translate it should be okay.

We just did a push to Transifex, and I could not find those terms - I think it worked!
