Procedures to adjust the Brazilian Portuguese translation for Tutor

[abrantesasf]

I am trying to make some changes to the Brazilian Portuguese translation of Tutor 10.0.7, following the instructions at https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/configuration.html#adding-custom-translations (and in some posts here on this forum ), but I still have some questions. Could someone please confirm that the understanding below is correct?

1. To adjust the translation I need the pt_BR files from both edx-platform and Open edX.

2. The pt_BR files are available for edx-plaform at https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/tree/open-release/juniper.1/conf/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES.

3. However, pt_BR files are NOT available for Open edX at https://github.com/openedx/openedx-i18n/tree/master/edx-platform/locale. In that case I would need to directly use the pt_BR files available at https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/open-edx-releases/language/pt_BR/ (for the Juniper version).

4. After obtaining the files listed above (items 2 and 3) I must merge them in the files django.po and djangojs.po in the following directory: $(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/locale/en_BR/LC_MESSAGES/

5. In these two files I adjust the translations.

6. When finishing the translation adjustments, it is necessary to rebuild the Docker image with “tutor images build openedx openedx-dev”.

7. Finally, restart Tutor with “tutor local start -d”.

Please, are the above steps correct? Or did I get something wrong?

No. (see below)

However, pt_BR files are NOT available for Open edX at https://github.com/openedx/openedx-i18n/tree/master/edx-platform/locale.

This is normal. Translations for any given language are available either in edx-platform or openedx-i18n, but not both. The goal of openedx-i18n is to bundle the languages that do not ship by default with edx-platform.

No, this is unnecessary.

The only thing you have to do is create your own custom folder with some translations strings in them, as described in the docs you linked: https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/configuration.html#adding-custom-translations
Have faith

Yes, this is correct.

Thank you! This was not clear to me, but now I understood perfectly!
