PO Untranslated AI Translation

Outcome

  • Fill only untranslated PO entries.
  • Keep all existing human translations unchanged.
  • Add a fixed comment tag AI_TRANSLATED to entries filled by AI.
  • Never translate comment text itself.

Scope

  • Target files: localization/i18n/*/ElegooSlicer_*.po
  • Default test locale: zh_CN

Workflow

  1. Count untranslated entries in target locale(s).
  2. Translate only entries where msgstr is empty (or all plural msgstr[n] are empty).
  3. Add #. AI_TRANSLATED to each newly filled entry.
  4. Do not modify non-empty translations.
  5. Run a spot-check in the edited locale file to verify quality.

Execution Command

python scripts/ai_fill_po_translations.py --locale zh_CN --ai-tag AI_TRANSLATED

Verbose Logging

  • Use --verbose to print one log line per translated entry.
  • Use --verbose-match <keyword> to print only records containing the keyword.
  • Example: track entries containing OrcaSlicer while translating zh_CN.
python scripts/ai_fill_po_translations.py --locale zh_CN --ai-tag AI_TRANSLATED --verbose --verbose-match OrcaSlicer

Quality Checks

  • No existing non-empty msgstr was overwritten.
  • AI tag exists only on newly filled entries.
  • Placeholder tokens like %s, %1%, \n remain intact.
