Question about Weblate scripts

[Ricardo Lafuente]

Hi all,

We've been experimenting with Weblate for handling the website Markdown 
files. Even though their Markdown support is experimental, it's 
apparently doable. We created a component, website-faq (markdown 
requires a component per file) to try things out; apparently strings are 
extracted properly, but we still have to confirm whether the 
translations are properly applied back.

But we couldn't run the i18n helper scripts. First, there was a python 
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rlafuente/repos/jshelter/./tools/i18n/weblate2main.py", 
line 111, in <module>
    bl[key]["description"] == "" and "description" not in wl[key] and \
    ~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'description'

The KeyErrors can be dealt with by using .get() instead, so we made 
these changes which seemed to address the error:

             # Check if the only difference is a missing empty description
             if bl[key]["message"] == wl[key]["message"] and \
-                bl[key]["description"] == "" and "description" not in 
wl[key] and \
+                not bl[key].get("description") and "description" not in 
wl[key] and \
                 (("placeholders" not in bl[key] and "placeholders" not 
in wl[key]) or \
-                (["placeholders"] in bl[key] and "placeholders" in 
wl[key] and \
-                bl[key]["placeholders"] == wl[key]["placeholders"])):
+                ("placeholders" in bl[key] and "placeholders" in 
wl[key] and \
+ bl[key].get("placeholders") == wl[key]["placeholders"])):
                     continue # Skip such strings

After the fix, running ./tools/i18n/weblate2main.py from the root repo 
directory gives out a string of failures:

I suppose that you have a branch weblate mirroring 
https://hosted.weblate.org/git/jshelter/webextension/. Make sure that 
your working tree is clear. Use git stash or similar commands if necessary.

At this point we could really use some guidance -- are the failures 
expected? Do they occur because of our changes to the weblate script?
