Setup potbot for WordCamp.org

[iandunn]

Currently the only was to support localization is to create individual pot templates for each plugin/theme, and ask translators to manually download them, edit with something like PoEdit, then send us the new one. Then a dev has to diff it, review and commit.

It'd be much easier for everyone if we used potbot and GlotPress, like WordPress.org does.

@nacin, can you take a look at this when you get time, or point me in the right direction if it's something I can do?

I forgot to mention, the text domain is wordcamporg.

In 1901:

Translate: Add dashicon for new WordCamp project.

See #1076.

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordcamp.org/public_html/wp-content is now available at ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/wordcamp.

Some gettext calls are using a different textdomain, that should be fixed at some point.

@iandunn Are the language files already downloaded by a bot? What's missing here?

The only piece left is to automate the installation and updating of the compiled localization binaries. WordPress.org already has a lang-update.sh script which does that, so we’d just need to modify it to work on WordCamp.org. The only potentially significant change would be pulling the list of locales from GlotPress via an API, since GlotPress isn't installed locally like it is on WordPress.org. We could just svn checkout the locales folder or something too, if an API isn't readily available.

It doesn't sound like that's a ​priority for 2016, though.

You can use ​https://translate.wordpress.org/api/languages for all locales and their data and ​https://translate.wordpress.org/api/projects/meta/wordcamp to get the locales of the WordCamp project.

Awesome, thanks :)

After we get this working for the wordcamporg text domain, we should also look into syncing all Core localizations and then those for plugins and themes that don't use wordcamporg, like CampTix.

The script to automatically update localizations was added in [wordcamp2216]. It'll run once a day at midnight UTC.
