Setup & Configuration

Transifex

TX configuration

Make sure you have a ~/.transifexrc. It is unique per user and stores the hostname, username and password for every Transifex server that you are using. It is stored in the user's home directory.

[https://www.transifex.com]
username = user
token =
password = p@ssw0rd
hostname = https://www.transifex.com

More info about setting up your Transifex client

TX client config file

In .tx->config replace the project_slug and the pot_slug by your own Transifex project data.

Creates pot

In your Gruntfile.js, replace in the section named makepot the data below:

makepot: {
	target: {
		options: {
			mainFile: 'foo.php', // Main project file.
			potFilename: 'foo.pot', // Name of the POT file.
			type: 'wp-plugin', // Type of project (wp-plugin or wp-theme).
			updateTimestamp: true, // Whether the POT-Creation-Date should be updated without other changes.
			updatePoFiles: false // Whether to update PO files in the same directory as the POT file.
		}
	}
}

Checktexdomain

In your Gruntfile.js, replace in the section named checktextdomain the text_domain option:

checktextdomain: {
			options:{
				text_domain: 'foo',  //Name of Your textdomain

Creates pot and pushes it to Transifex

In your Gruntfile.js, replace in the section named exec the -- minimum percentage value if needed:

exec: {
	txpull: { // Pull Transifex translation - grunt exec:txpull
		cmd: 'tx pull -a --minimum-perc=100' // Change the percentage with --minimum-perc=yourvalue
	}
}

That's it you're ready to Grunt it now with those commands!
