Hi,

About dropping Java 8 support, I do not have an idea when it might happen. It has an connection to Java 17 and I can see this comment in https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/5248:

“It might be necessary to make a decision if we should keep Java 8 compatibility.”

Thank you Jukka for this test. I think it will need some configuration change on the Transifex side when it will be changed.

Do we have any idea when the support of Java 8 would be dropped in the project?

Regards

Alexandre

Hi,

Edgar Soldin from the OpenJUMP project is going to change the whole repository into UTF-8, even the properties files https://sourceforge.net/p/jump-pilot/mailman/message/37382192/. He is confident that it can be done also for Java 8 by adding a custom ResourceBundle.Control to I18N as described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/4660195/1308810.

I made a few quick tests which seem to proof that Java 11 can use UTF-8 out-of-the box while the Unicode escapes work for all Java versions. Unicode escapes are manageable in Finnish translations because only 6 characters require escaping but in some other languages almost all characters must be escaped. Being able to use UTF-8 and normal text editors would be nice. Perhaps change could happen at least when Geoserver drops support for Java 8.

I am going to have some availability mid week, would love to see this go ahead. I have confirmed admin permission for GeoServer (which has GeoServer, GeoServer Stable, GeoServerTestGitHub, GeoServer 2.1.x, GeoServer 2.2.x).

I am also comfortable with our build system if we can set up a maven or ant scripts to manage translations.

Hi Mats,

For the moment it is more a POC than a working system : it needs to be plugged to the geoserver repo instead of my fork.

Right. What about the transifex project you created? Will it be the new reference for translation?

Is there any way to communicate that to the existing translators?

To be discussed with Frank Gasdorf, I think that a brand new project will be better, since the setup can take some time. Transifex has several way to notify people of changes in the project.

I assume that the old project does not have a structure allowing for automation, or there is an access right issue?

The main issue is what will happen to the existing Transifex translation when we plug GitHub integration for a language already translated in GitHub.

I need someone with enough rights to setup this with the official repo.

The links between github resources and transifex resources must be configured by the administrator of the project.

I think Jody offered to help in another thread, but if needs be, I can also set up the integration (just trying to

avoid taking on more stuff, the bits of GeoServer that I cannot delegate to others are already killing me).

I will be happy to work with Jody : it will only require some configuration on the GitHub side.

Alexandre

Cheers

Andrea
