Exporting POFile attributes

GOAL

• Define a statistics interface for POFile

OUTSTANDING ISSUES

• No real-time shared stats
  • Due to message sharing, stats (last_updated, last_translator, untranslated, etc...) not updated in real time

  • A week delay for shared translations (see 373269)

  • This is not a blocker for defining the API interface, but this should be clearly stated in the API docs for the exposed methods and attributes.

IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY

• Preliminary merge proposal

• According to Adi, IRosettaStats is not suitable for API export: the method that returns statistics takes a language as argument.

  • Proposal: IPOTemplate to not implement IRosettaStats and remove the language parameter from all IRosettaStats methods.

  • Question: is something that should be solved before continuing with the API work?

• Created a new ITranslationStatistics interface to move things forward and not to block on IRosettaStats changes.

  • Question: LP devs, happy with this approach?

• Exposed attributes

  • translation_message_changed_count

  • translation_message_new_count

    • "changed count", "new count" on an Ubuntu POFile:
      • will work pretty much how they did
      • difference: they will compare current messages in Ubuntu with shared messages upstream
    • "changed count", "new count" on a project POFile:
      • can be counted comparing them to Ubuntu
    • Is this a blocker for defining the interface at this point?
    • If so, should we postpone this work, and until when?

  • translation_message_translated_count

    • length - translated does not always equal untranslated.
    • We should count translation credits and outer automatic translations as "translated messages"

  • translation_message_total_count

  • translation_message_unreviewed_count

    • These seem to be safe to export like this
