As an example, the lookup order for German was:
1. override for de
2. override for en
3. value from de
4. value from en
After this change the lookup order is the same as on the client:
1. override for de
2. value from de
3. override for en
4. value from en
see /t/16381
Dir.glob does not guarantee file order and can change when ran on different machines.
This means that running asset precompilation on the exact same codebase will output
different content hashes.
Rails 6.1.3.1 deprecates a few API and has some internal changes that break our tests suite, so this commit fixes all the deprecations and errors and now Discourse should be fully compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1. We also have a new release of the rails_failover gem that's compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1.
Plugin client.en.yml and server.en.yml can now be client/server-(1-100).en.yml. 1 is the lowest priority, and 100 is the highest priority. This allows plugins to set their priority higher than other plugins, so that they can override eachothers' translations.
"en_US" doesn't contain most of the translations, so it falls back to "en". But that behavior stopped translation overrides to work for pluralized strings in "en_US", because it relies on existing translations. This fixes it by looking up the existing translation in all fallback locales.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
FIX: client's translation overrides were not working when the current locale was missing a key
FIX: ExtraLocalesController.show was not properly handling multiple translations
FIX: JsLocaleHelper#output_locale was not properly handling multiple translations
FIX: ExtraLocalesController.show's spec which was randomly failing
FIX: JsLocaleHelper#output_locale was muting cached translations hashes
REFACTOR: move 'enableVerboseLocalization' to the 'localization' initializer
REFACTOR: remove unused I18n.js methods (getFallbacks, localize, parseDate, toTime, strftime, toCurrency, toPercentage)
REFACTOR: remove all I18n.pluralizationRules and instead use MessageFormat's pluralization rules
TEST: add tests for localization initializer
TEST: add tests for I18n.js
Since I18n has a DB backend now, I've introduced a helper we can use to
skip overrides in certain situations. Otherwise migration from empty
databases was broken.
