Instead of generating a fluent.proto file with a giant enum, create
a .json file representing the translations that downstream consumers
can use for code generation.
This enables the generation of a separate method for each translation,
with a docstring that shows the actual text, and any required arguments
listed in the function signature.
The codebase is still using the old enum for now; updating it will need
to come in future commits, and the old enum will need to be kept
around, as add-ons are referencing it.
Other changes:
- move translation code into a separate crate
- store the translations on a per-file/module basis, which will allow
us to avoid sending 1000+ strings on each JS page load in the future
- drop the undocumented support for external .ftl files, that we weren't
using
- duplicate strings in translation files are now checked for at build
time
- fix i18n test failing when run outside Bazel
- drop slog dependency in i18n module
To support images on that screen, we'll first need to adjust the base url
for each platform, or rewrite the local image URLs, as otherwise they
are resolved to _anki/pages/...
Python wheels on Linux require statically linked SSL libraries.
We were previously relying on the native-tls-vendored feature in
reqwest, but that does not work with Bazel, as openssl-src makes
assumptions that break when sandboxed. The static libs distributed
by distros like Ubuntu fail to link, and while we could potentially
build OpenSSL ourselves, we'd then need to keep it up to
date.
On Windows and Mac however, native-tls is preferable to ring, as it
allows us to get free updates from the OS, and results in
a smaller library.
Rust currently only supports platform-specific features in nightly,
and cargo-raze does not have support for them, so we currently need
to override the generated build file with a hand-crafted one that
specifies the relative features/deps for each platform.
update.py has been updated to automatically keep the version numbers
in this file up to date, so it should hopefully not prove too hard to
maintain going forward.
Running and testing should be working on the three platforms, but
there's still a fair bit that needs to be done:
- Wheel building + testing in a venv still needs to be implemented.
- Python requirements still need to be compiled with piptool and pinned;
need to compile on all platforms then merge
- Cargo deps in cargo/ and rslib/ need to be cleaned up, and ideally
unified into one place
- Currently using rustls to work around openssl compilation issues
on Linux, but this will break corporate proxies with custom SSL
authorities; need to conditionally use openssl or use

- Makefiles and docs still need cleaning up
- It may make sense to reparent ts/* to the top level, as we don't
nest the other modules under a specific language.
- rspy and pylib must always be updated in lock-step, so merging
rspy into pylib as a private module would simplify things.
- Merging desktop-ftl and mobile-ftl into the core ftl would make
managing and updating translations easier.
- Obsolete scripts need removing.
- And probably more.
