Project Configuration Files

Under the L10n Streamlining directory (typically <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining), each group file structure follows this pattern:

<group_name>
├── config
│   ├── config_due_dates.xml
│   ├── config_l10n_vendor.properties
│   ├── config_lingotek_locale_mapping.properties
│   ├── config_lrm_info.properties
│   ├── config_pseudo_loc.xml
│   ├── config_ws_locale_mapping.properties
│   └── config_ws_locale_projecttype_mapping.properties
└── projects
    └── <project 1>
        ├── config
        │   ├── config_email_recipients.xml
        │   └── config_vcs.properties
        ...

Each of the group configuration files can be copied to the project 'config' directory if a project has a configuration different from other projects in that group.

For more information on the global configuration files, visit the Global Configuration Files page.

For more information on the group configuration files, visit the Group Configuration Files page.

This section describes the main configuration files for each project. Other configuration files are self-explanatory.

Location

Project Configuration Files are copied over to the L10nStreamlining/<group name>/projects/<project name>config folder when a project is created. The original configuration files are located in the ../lingoport/lrm-server-xx/deploy/templates/dir_structure/project folder. These files can be moved to the group or global levels if less granularity is needed.

Configuration files can be at the global, group or project level.

Global: <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining/config. For more information on the global configuration files, visit the Global Configuration Files page.

Group: <HOME>/Lingoport_Data/L10nStreamlining/<group name>/config. For more information on the group configuration files, visit the Group Configuration Files page.

If there are duplicate files, the project level takes precedence, followed by the group level, and finally the global level.

Project Configuration Files

config_email_recipients.xml

The notification (email) mechanism uses this file to determine which emails are sent to what recipients. This is distinct from the config_email_global.xml file set up in the global directory.

More than one person can be specified in each section.

The file is formatted this way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<email-recipients>
        <notify-changes>
                <recipient>name1@company.com</recipient>
                <recipient>name2@company.com</recipient>
        </notify-changes>
        <prep-kit>
                <recipient>name@company.com</recipient>
        </prep-kit>
        <import-kit>
                <recipient>name1@company.com</recipient>
                <recipient>name2@company.com</recipient>
        </import-kit>
        <translators>
                <translator>name@company.com</translator>
        </translators>
        <l10nvendoradmins>
                <l10nvendoradmin>name@company.com</l10nvendoradmin>
        </l10nvendoradmins>
</email-recipients>

config_vcs.properties

This file tells what Version Control System to use and the URL of the repository project for check-in and checkout. A typical file looks like this:

# Choices for VCS_TYPE are:
#    - git
#    - svn
#    - tfs
#    ( ftp)
VCS_TYPE=NOTSET

# For GIT
# See http://wiki.lingoport.com/Git
# ----------------------------------
#VCS_GIT_URL=git@github.com:userName/gitProjectName.git
#VCS_GIT_BRANCH=master

# For SVN
# See http://wiki.lingoport.com/SVN
# ----------------------------------
# VCS_SVN_URL=https://svns.company.net/repo/client/trunk/com.company.project.

# For TFS
# See http://wiki.lingoport.com/TFS
# --------------------------------
# VCS_TFS_URL=
# VCS_TFS_URL=http://company:port/tfs/
# TF_SERVER_FOLDER=$/projectX/
# TF_UNIQUE_WORKSPACE_NAME=AUniqueNameGeneratedFromSomeRandomGenerating
## Optional -- associate with a tfs workitem
#   LINGOPORT_WORKITEM_ID=

Please note that this file must be a good Unix file: If the file was copied from a Windows system, dos2unix should first be run on the file. Otherwise the bash scripts may misread the attributes.

After VCS_TYPE is set to a value other than NOTSET, uncomment the corresponding section and provide the correct information for the configuration.

config_l10n_vendor.xml (Optional)

This file is typically located at the Group level. However, if one project in the group needs a different way to move files back and forth with the translation team, it can be overwritten here.

When sending files for translation or getting files back from translation, the system uses config_l10n_vendor.xml. It can be set to use FTP, Lingotek, GlobalLink or Worldserver out of the box. More end points can be added for a custom implementation.
