New Translation Target: Fedora Modules

Hello, members of the Fedora internationalization community!

As I expect most of you are aware, Fedora has been heavily driving forwards with a new technology: Modularity. As part of this initiative, I have set up a new translation project on fedora.zanata.org that will contain all of the summary, description and profile descriptions for every module available in each Fedora branch (starting with Fedora 28).

These strings will be used by end-users who are trying to determine what they need to install on their systems, so it would be highly desirable to get them translated and made available.

The translations will be automatically consumed from Zanata and added to the repository metadata for the relevant Fedora releases, so they are not necessarily bound to the usual translation deadline; they can come in at any future nightly repository compose.

The new translation project can be found at https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/fedora-modularity-translations

Currently, the source strings are generated manually. I have written a simple tool[1][2] that will automatically extract the translatable strings from all modules tagged for a particular Fedora release and upload them to Zanata. I would very much like to know if there is a good system that I could tie into in order to have this extraction and upload done periodically (nightly).

If there's anything I can do to help this get started, please let me or Langdon White (langdon@redhat.com) know and we'll do our best to assist.
