Add a "localization" label in jira

Hi devs,

Right now we have the following labels in jira. I couldn’t find a label used for localization issues so I’m proposing to introduce a localization one and document it on https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRule:Usetherightlabels

WDYT?

Thx

EDIT: I’ve started adding the localization label to some issues already.

Note that we have a Localization component in source code and jira but we also have a lot of issues related to localization that are not in the Localization component. So either we move all code related to localization in this module (not sure it’s doable at least not short time) or we need the localization label.

UPDATE: I’v just noticed that we use l10n already, so I’m changing the proposal to use l10n officially and documenting it on https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRule:Usetherightlabels

+1 for l10n

Couldn’t this tag be on issues reporting misuses of the localization features in other components? I’m almost sure we could not move all code related to localization in the Localization component because we currently keep the localization close to the code it’s used in.


Thank you!

Yes, and it would be pretty hard, even if we were to design XWiki today from scratch to have a cross-cutting concern like Localization be located into a single module. I think we’d need to use Aspects for that (similar to Security, and other cross-cutting concerns) and it wouldn’t be easy.

So it means when creating issues in the Localization component, we should also set the l10n label (as it’s not a misuse).
