Detailed Description

Often even after 100% translation in Zanata, few packages do not get build with latest translations in Fedora. This result in poor localization experience. Transdiff is a python program to run on products installations for tracking translations with project upstream and generate diff reports.

Benefit to Fedora

• Analysis/Diff reports of packages with outdated translations with upstream.
• Fedora packagers or developers can monitor strings missing or breakage in translation.
• This is more from automated testing prospectives.
