The homepage of the Unsafe Browser cannot be translated
Originally created by @sajolida on #15461 (Redmine)
Due to #14962 (closed), we had to apply a temporary workaround: 08259afa, a02aafef, 527b2c37.
But that’s problematic: translators can’t easily update/fix translations in PO files for that web page, and newly enabled languages don’t get a translated page (e.g. we’ve enabled Spanish and guess what? of course nobody thought of manually translating that HTML file).
So, we should:
- either do something clever to avoid using markup/CSS that won’t render due to #14962 (closed) (can we use a custom page template? last time I check we could not) and then reintegrate this HTML file into our ikiwiki+po setup to make that page translatable again; likely that won’t work so let’s not spend too much time of it before switching to:
- or keep most of the current hacks, treat that web page as something
outside of ikiwiki’s scope, and make it translatable via Transifex:
- move the source page out of
wiki/src - integrate it with our non-ikiwiki translation setup (
po/,refresh-translations, etc.) - replace
fixup_14962_workaroundwith something that copies the generated translated pages toconfig/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/doc/tails/website/misc
- move the source page out of
- or find a nicer, cheap enough solution to this problem :)
For future plans, see #14962 (comment 30357) and follow-ups.
