String Export l10n - my-swift-lab/firefox-ios GitHub Wiki

A. Before doing any of this and its your first time.

• Fork https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/firefoxios-l10n.git to your own user
• Continue to step B.

B. If its not your first time

• vnc to L10N machine: vnc://208.52.161.194. This has Xcode 8 which is needed (why?) to do the export process
• cd firefox-ios folder that contains the firefox-ios app from https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios.git // Assuming firefox-ios repo is checked out
• git pull origin main // gets the changes for firefox-ios repo
• checkout https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/ios-l10n-scripts.git // if the scripts itself doesn't exist or SKIP if they are already there
• rm -rf firefoxios-l10n // if it exists
• ios-l10n-scripts/export-locales-firefox.sh // this checks out firefoxios-l10n
• cd firefoxios-l10n // Once firefoxios-l10 is checked out and all strings are built
• git config --local credential.helper "" // Clear the credentials
• Add your remote from forked repo: git remote add update https://THIS_IS_YOUR_FORKED_firefoxios-l10n_URL
• Push the branch: git push update YOUR_BRANCH_NAME // Should be similar to 20200706_1638 (timestamp) that is given in the terminal

C. Note

• If you are using 2-FA then make sure to generate a token instead of your password and give it repo read / write at https://github.com/settings/tokens (check off repo, read: packages, write: packages, which worked for me.) Copy that token, then when prompted, enter your username, and at the password prompt use the token.
• Make PR towards firefoxios-l10n and make sure to check that there are changes for the string. Ex PR - https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/firefoxios-l10n/pull/92
