Translation errors about sphinx-doc-translations HOT 3 OPEN

@AA-Turner I already mentioned the Tamil issue in #28

from sphinx-doc-translations.

These errors are for UI, not docs. Considering reporting in there.

Important subject, though.

from sphinx-doc-translations.

Is there a way of ensuring in transifex that these errors don't happen?

@AA-Turner Sorry for not answering this question specific before.

TL;DR; I don't think there is straightforward way to avoid it in Transifex.

Translations not honoring placeholders %s are reported in-screen as error for the translations (see Tamil example), but I haven't found a straightforward way to tx pull filtering these error strings. Haven't found a API endpoint either.

Pulling only reviewed translations would reduce the chance of these errors, but not ensure (plus adding a big burden to the existing contributors). I don't think it is worth.

A manual solution would be to have me editing and fixing, or clearing the problematic translation strings. I can do that if you need, but I need to be made aware (via CI etc.) whenever it happens.

Is it possible to programmatically retrieve the language codes causing the compilation to fail? It occurred to me that the transifex.yml CI workflow could keep going by first clearing these problematic language codes with git checkout <lang>.
