Hi Fabian,

Currently the process is manual and done by the translation maintainers, however, the San Francisco post-civicon sprint is about to start, and it is one of the things I would like to improve/automate.

Are the extensions listed in the CiviCRM directory?
https://civicrm.org/extensions

Is their git repository publicly accessible? (ex: on github or other)

I was thinking of adding an option to the extension directory so that when a new release of the extension is available, it will automatically clone the git repository, extract the strings in the pot, and push them to Transifex.

However, in the mean time, if you point me to the git repositories of the extensions, and their directory listing, I can add them manually to Transifex.

Hi Fabian,

During the SF sprint, we have added new "auto-release" features on civicrm.org, so that when a new stable tag is detected in the git repository of an extension that has been added in the CiviCRM directory, we will automatically publish a new "release" in the directory. For extensions that have been approved (for automatic distribution, i.e. installation directly from CiviCRM > Admin > Extensions), we automatically extract the translation strings from the extension and push them to Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/civicrm_extensions/).

Nicolas from CiviDesk is also working on an extension that automatically downloads and updates the translation files. Admins will be able to download the translated .mo files manually from download.civicrm.org (ex: http://download.civicrm.org/civicrm-l10n-extensions/mo/i18nexample/fr_FR/i18nexample.mo)

In other words, all you need to do is to add your extension to the civicrm.org/extensions directory, request a quick review of the extensions, and the rest will be pretty much automatic after that.
