Magento hackathon in Utrecht

During this hackathon, developers can collaborate on various projects to help out the Magento community. One project that will deserve attention is translation. Especially for this topic, Anton Boiko (product development of Magento 2) and Ben Marks (developer evangelist) are coming over. But any project you want to work is welcome. So you don't want to miss out on this! This is one of the most fun events for devs.

Project: Translations:

Now that Magento 2 is growing in popularity, the demand for good translations also rises. Magento itself has setup a CrowdIn resource for this and this has already gotten some good community input. However, its export capabilities suck - a simple PHP script without caching and no cronjob-based pull to some git repo. Also, there have been already a few Dutch companies improving the language packs in their own company repositories. Unfortunately this does not divide the core and third party modules into separate language packs, and it also leads to confusion of which pack is better. This hackathon is meant to clear up the confusion and work on better tooling for handling translations.

Some thoughts for this project:

1. Magento 2 module that implements the CrowdIn API properly with downloads of separate resources (one CSV per module). Something to quickly download a pack into Magento 2 and see how far the progress of translation is.

2. PHP script to use the CrowdIn API to download latest translations, dump them into a Dutchento repo on GitHub and offer them to the community.

3. Other subprojects around translation. Perhaps a better CLI export of CSV files, or integrations with other engines like OneSkyApp, Transifex and Fanta.
