Support Translations

[alfem]

I manage some repositories in Spain and aptly could be really useful, but translations are really needed.

Have you got this feature in the roadmap?

[smira]

I haven't had it on roadmap, as you're the first person requesting that. I'm scheduling that for 0.6.

Thanks!

So am I :) P.S. Can't find a way to "like" an issue on github, so here I am.

hey @smira ! any chance this can be looked at soon? currently this prevents from being able to see the packages descriptions from a local mirror of repos like the official debian ones. thanks in advance!

[smira]

Sorry, I do not have anything planned so far on that.

[sandrotosi]

thanks for getting back to me @smira ! maybe you could point out (if you know) what are the files/functions that may need changing to support this - it looks like there are several people interested in getting this fixed, maybe some of them will come up with a patch? :)

@sandrotosi I think it's non-trivial thing, but overall what I thought:

1. Package should have additional "fields" in aptly DB: translation per each language. These fields might be filled while mirroring (by reading Translation indexes) or directly from package description.
2. While publishing (if requested), Translation indexes per language should be generated - if package has translation in that language, it goes into this index.
3. Repeating from above: if configured, aptly gathers translation indexes (probably in some configured languages) and updates package translations. Same applies when package is being imported (like aptly repo add).
