LexiQA will be integrated in our edx-platform project in TX to test for three months with defined JS and Python parameters, which will prevent variable definition errors and false positive results.

    General outlines

    Translation context

  • 3 cards are realted to missing translation instutrciosn/string description.

  • It would be helpful to create map between transltion resources => to UX/UI, (Translator would use it as a refence to know what part of the platform crosspond to what resouce in TX )

    Unusual terms

  • Google somtimes fails to translate them

  • Term that are very spesfic to Open edX, can be challanging to translate. an example is Course Run

    To mititgate challenging terms

  • Wikipeida can be used to check what a spesfic term is used in different langauge.

  • Glossary can be helpful, so translatros could refer to them per langauge. so that the term translation can be consistant around the paltform




10 min


PSA regarding OEP-58:

@Omar Al-Ithawi

Omar did a big hack sync for thee sample languages ar,fr_CA,de in order to start testing the openedx-translations, which involved the following:

  • Download all relevant translations from the edx-platform and xblocks Transifex project

  • Upload all the resource translations into openedx-translations Transifex project

  • Mark all as reviewed

When the OEP-58 is finalized, we can start over with empty translations or make another sync depending on the #wg-translations recommendation.Related scripts: https://github.com/Zeit-Labs/openedx-transifex-one-time-sync/
