Checks and fixups
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The quality checks help catch common translator errors, ensuring the
|
|
translation is in good shape. The checks are divided into three levels of severity,
|
|
and can be ignored in case of false positives.
|
|
|
|
Once submitting a translation with a failing check, this is immediately shown to
|
|
the user:

|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _autofix:
|
|
|
|
Automatic fixups
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
In addition to :ref:`checks`, Weblate can also fix some common
|
|
errors in translated strings automatically. Use it with caution to not have
|
|
it add errors.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:setting:`AUTOFIX_LIST`
|
|
|
|
.. _checks:
|
|
|
|
Quality checks
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Weblate employs a wide range of quality checks on strings. The following section
|
|
describes them all in further detail. There are also language specific checks.
|
|
Please file a bug if anything is reported in error.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::

|
:setting:`CHECK_LIST`, :ref:`custom-checks`
|
|
|
|
Translation checks
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Executed upon every translation change, helping translators maintain
|
|
good quality translations.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-same:
|
|
|
|
Unchanged translation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Happens if the source and correspanding translation strings is identical, down to
|
|
at least one of the plural forms. Some strings commonly found across all
|
|
languages are ignored, and various markup is stripped. This reduces
|
|
the number of false positives.
|
|
|
|
This check can help find strings mistakenly untranslated.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-begin-newline:
|
|
.. _check-end-newline:
|
|
|
|
Starting or trailing newline
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Source and translation do not both start (or end) with a newline.
|
|
|
|
Newlines usually appear in source strings for good reason, omissions or additions
|
|
can lead to formatting problems when the translated text is put to use.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-begin-space:
|
|
|
|
Starting spaces
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Source and translation do not both start with the same number of spaces.
|
|
|
|
A space in the beginning of a string is usually used for indentation in the interface and thus
|
|
important to keep.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-space:
|
|
|
|
Trailing space
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that trailing spaces are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
|
|
Trailing space is usually utilized to space out neighbouring elements, so
|
|
removing it might break layout.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-stop:
|
|
|
|
Trailing stop
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that full stops are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
The presence of full stops is checked for various languages where they do not belong
|
|
(Chinese, Japanese, Devanagari or Urdu).
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Full stop on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_stop>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-colon:
|
|
|
|
Trailing colon
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that colons are replicated between both source and translation. The
|
|
presence of colons is also checked for various languages where they do not
|
|
belong (Chinese or Japanese).
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Colon on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-question:
|
|
|
|
Trailing question mark
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that question marks are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
The presence of question marks is also checked for various languages where they
|
|
do not belong (Armenian, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Ethiopic, Vai or
|
|
Coptic).
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Question mark on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-exclamation:
|
|
|
|
Trailing exclamation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that exclamations are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
The presence of exclamation marks is also checked for various languages where
|
|
they do not belong (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Armenian, Limbu, Myanmar or
|
|
Nko).
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Exclamation mark on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclamation_mark>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-punctuation-spacing:
|
|
|
|
Punctuation spacing
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.9
|
|
|
|
Checks that there is non breakable space before double punctuation sign
|
|
(exclamation mark, question mark, semicolon and colon). This rule is used only
|
|
in a few selected languages like French or Breton, where space before double
|
|
punctuation sign is a typographic rule.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`French and English spacing on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sentence_spacing#French_and_English_spacing>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-ellipsis:
|
|
|
|
Trailing ellipsis
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that trailing ellipsises are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
This only checks for real ellipsis (``…``) not for three dots (``...``).
|
|
|
|
An ellipsis is usually rendered nicer than three dots in print, and sound better with text-to-speech.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Ellipsis on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsis>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _check-end-semicolon:
|
|
|
|
Trailing semicolon
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that semicolons at the end of sentences are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
This can be useful to keep formatting of entries such as desktop files.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`Semicolon on Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon>`_
|
|
|
|
.. _check-max-length:
|
|
|
|
Maximum Length
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that translations are of acceptable length to fit available space.
|
|
This only checks for the length of translation characters.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the other checks, the flag should be set as a ``key:value`` pair like
|
|
``max-length:100``.

|
|
Formatted strings
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that formatting in strings are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
Omitting format strings in translation usually cause severe problems, so the formatting in strings
|
|
should usually match the source.
|
|
|
|
Weblate supports checking format strings in several languages. The check is not
|
|
enabled automatically, only if a string is flagged appropriately (e.g.
|
|
`c-format` for C format). Gettext adds this automatically, but you will
|
|
probably have to add it manually for other file formats or if your PO files are
|
|
not generated by :program:`xgettext`.
|
|
|
|
This can be done per unit (see :ref:`additional`) or in :ref:`component`.
|
|
Having it defined per component is simpler, but can lead to false positives in
|
|
case the string is not interpreted as a formating string, but format string syntax
|
|
happens to be used.
|
|
|
|
Besides checking, this will also highligh the formatting strings to easily
|
|
insert them into translated strings:

|
|
|
|
Placeholders
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.9
|
|
|
|
Translation is missing some placeholders. These are either extracted from the
|
|
translation file or defined manually using ``placeholders`` flag, more can be
|
|
sparated with colon:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
placeholders:$URL$:$TARGET$
|
|
|
|
.. _check-regex:
|
|
|
|
Regular expression
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.9
|
|
|
|
Translation does not match regular expression. The expression iseither extracted from the
|
|
translation file or defined manually using ``regex`` flag:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
regex:^foo|bar$
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _check-plurals:
|
|
|
|
Missing plurals
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Checks that all plural forms of a source string have been translated.
|
|
Specifics on how each plural form is used can be found in the string definition.
|
|
|
|
Failing to fill in plural forms will in some cases lead to displaying nothing when
|
|
the plural tense is in use.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-same-plurals:
|
|
|
|
Same plurals
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Check that fails if some plural forms duplicated in the translation.
|
|
In most languages they have to be different.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-inconsistent:
|
|
|
|
Inconsistent
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Weblate checks translations of the same string across all translation within a
|
|
project to help you keep consistent translations.
|
|
|
|
The check fails on differing translations of one string within a project. This can also lead to
|
|
inconsistencies in displayed checks. You can find other translations of this
|
|
string on the :guilabel:`All locations` tab.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-translated:
|
|
|
|
Has been translated
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Means a string has been translated already. This can happen when the
|
|
translations have been reverted in VCS or lost otherwise.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-escaped-newline:
|
|
|
|
Mismatched \\n
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Usually escaped newlines are important for formatting program output.
|
|
Check fails if the number of ``\\n`` literals in translation do not match the source.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-bbcode:
|
|
|
|
BBcode markup
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
BBCode represents simple markup, like for example highlighting important parts of a
|
|
message in bold font, or italics.
|
|
|
|
This check ensures they are also found in translation.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The method for detecting BBcode is currently quite simple so this check
|
|
might produce false positives.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-zero-width-space:
|
|
|
|
Zero-width space
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Zero-width space (<U+200B>) character are used to truncate messages within words.
|
|
|
|
As they are usually inserted by mistake, this check is triggered once they are present
|
|
in translation. Some programs might have problems when this character is used.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|

|
|
The XML markup is not valid.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-xml-tags:
|
|
|
|
XML markup
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This usually means the resulting output will look different. In most cases this is
|
|
not desired result from changing the translation, but occasionally it is.
|
|
|
|
Checks that XML tags are replicated between both source and translation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _check-safe-html:
|
|
|
|
Unsafe HTML
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.9
|
|
|
|
The translation uses unsafe HTML markup. This check has to be enabled using
|
|
``safe-html`` flag (see :ref:`custom-checks`). There is also accompanied
|
|
autofixer which can automatically sanitize the markup.
|
|

.. _check-kashida:
|
|
|
|
Kashida letter used
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.5
|
|
|
|
The decorative Kashida letters should not be used in translation. These are
|
|
also known as Tatweel.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|

.. _check-url:
|
|
|
|
URL
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.5
|
|
|
|
The translation does not contain an URL. This is triggered only in case the
|
|
unit is marked as containing URL. In that case the translation has to be a
|
|
valid URL.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-max-size:
|
|
|
|
Maximum size of translation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.7
|
|
|
|
Translation rendered text should not exceed given size. It renders the text
|
|
with line wrapping and checks if it fits into given boundaries.
|
|
|
|
This check needs one or two parameters - maximal width and maximal number of
|
|
lines. In case the number of lines is not provided, one line text is
|
|
considered.
|
|
|
|
You can also configured used font by ``font-*`` directives (see
|
|
:ref:`custom-checks`), for example following translation flags say that the
|
|
text rendered with ubuntu font size 22 should fit into two lines and 500
|
|
pixels:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
max-size:500:2, font-family:ubuntu, font-size:22
|
|
|
|
.. hint::
|
|
|
|
You might want to set ``font-*`` directives in :ref:`component` to have same
|
|
font configured for all strings within a component. You can override those
|
|
values per string in case you need to customize it per string.
|
|
|

Source checks
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Source checks can help developers improve the quality of source strings.
|
|
|
|
.. _check-optional-plural:
|
|
|
|
Unpluralised
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The string is used as a plural, but does not use plural forms. In case your
|
|
translation system supports this, you should use the plural aware variant of
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
For example with Gettext in Python it could be:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from gettext import ngettext
|
|
|
|
print ngettext('Selected %d file', 'Selected %d files', files) % files
|
|
|
|
.. _check-ellipsis:
|
|
|
|
Ellipsis
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This fails when the string uses three dots (``...``) when it should use an ellipsis character (``…``).
|
|
|
|
Using the Unicode character is in most cases the better approach and looks better
|
|
rendered, and may sound better with text-to-speech.
|
|
|
|

|
|
.. _check-multiple-failures:
|
|
|
|
Multiple failing checks
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Numerous translations of this string have failing quality checks. This is
|
|
usually an indication that something could be done to improving the source
|
|
string.
|
|
|
|
This check failing can quite often be caused by a missing full stop at the end of
|
|
a sentence, or similar minor issues which translators tend to fix in
|
|
translation, while it would be better to fix it in the source string.
