New Bilara launch date: Monday 17 August

I have resolved the issue by rebuilding the Elasticsearch index.

Hi everyone. Excited to keep working on SN 47 using the new bilara!

I’ve tried to access and I can’t go past the Welcome page. I log in using GitHub and it keeps reloading the same Welcome page. (If I go to GitHub, I am logged in.) Apologies if this is because I’ve failed to do something very basic.

Hi @Bernat

I have activated your account.

Thank you @HongDa ! For some reason it only sees as mine the old translations I did in Catalan and not my more recent projects in Spanish. I see the translators ids are different: bernatfontclos vs font. I can still edit my Spanish translations, but perhaps we might solve this before I start changing things and create problems?

my pleasure.

This is likely due to different user IDs.

bernatfontclos This is the ID you are currently using?

Let’s continue this in DMs to not clutter people’s inboxes.

Good news, thank you Bhante!

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn’t even know it’s already live! Exciting! I’ll try it out! :smiley:


EDIT: I can see that there aren’t all boxes ticked yet. It’s perhaps still too early for everybody to test and give feedback, lest @HongDa will be a bit overwhelmed with us all. :smiley:

It has been said: ALL TRANSLATORS HAVE TO STOP WORKING, so let’s practice restraint!

The workflow has been updated so that user changes are submitted in real-time to the remote unpublished branch, and corresponding modifications have been made to the “unpublished changes” page.

Yes, I can see the change to the unpublished branch. Thanks, @HongDa Sorry for trying out first while you guys are still testing. Itchy hands.

@WayChuang No worries :slightly_smiling_face:

by the way, you can still see the details of the changes on the publication queue page.

I have no idea where that is. I haven’t found the UI to create pull request either. I’ll check it out when the new bilara is declared done.

Thanks so much Hongda for all this work!

Hopefully the folks on here can get an idea of how responsive you are, how quick to understand and implement features and fixes. It’s been a great experience working with you.

Okay. If it’s a problem, maybe we can think of some other approach, like batching updates to Github every five minutes or something.

Anyway, I can confirm this is working.

Meanwhile, one critical issues is still outstanding: I can’t add comments on many pages, the option is not there.

I just had a meeting with Hongda. It seems there are no critical blocking issues remaining. But it’s the end of the week, and we’d rather not invite folks back on just yet, as any bugs will eat up HD’s weekend time with his family. So we’ll go ahead on Monday. So unless you hear anything to the contrary, enjoy a weekend holiday from translating, and we can all log in and get going on Monday!

Greetings from Italy! Thank you for your hard work on this.

A few things:

  1. I checked the new system and I noticed that the search box doesn’t seem to support partial word matches (for example searching “saṅkhār” instead of “saṅkhāra” so I could check all related translation iterations). Can it be restored?

  2. I can only see the suttas I’ve translated, but access to files that haven’t been translated yet are missing.

  3. Where does one hit “publish” with the new system? It’s unclear.

Many blessings to all who are working on this!

Under your avatar, click on the “Unpublished Changes” option.

You should see the changed files and select them for publication in the “Diff Viewer” panel. Hit the “Publish” button, I guess. I haven’t tried it because Bhante Sujato asked us to do so on Monday. But my hands are getting itchy.

Thank you! That’s very helpful.

I hope the Pāli search box will be restored. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
