* Collapse runs of deleted messages in the timeline (#7111) * Collapse runs of deleted messages in the timeline Collapse a run of three or more consecutive deleted messages into a single expandable group, reusing the existing state-change grouping (the same way element-web does it) instead of showing one "Message removed" placeholder per deletion. The header shows the count only ("N deleted messages"); the Rust SDK does not expose who performed the redaction, so we don't attribute it. On by default. Runs shorter than three are left as individual placeholders, and day dividers and read receipts are preserved (a run is broken by any non-redacted item, so a day is never emptied). Run the collapse as the final step of TimelineItemGrouper.group() instead of a separate pass in the presenter, as suggested in review. Kept as its own finalization step rather than via canBeGrouped() so the group stays all redacted and the count-only header is preserved. The group id is resolved through the grouper's existing id registry, like the other groups, so it stays stable however the run grows and the user's expand/collapse state is kept across timeline updates. * Replace temporary strings with final ones * Update screenshots --------- Co-authored-by: Hi Dude! <klarkmonty@tuta.io> Co-authored-by: manfrommedan <manfrommedan@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: ElementBot <android@element.io>
Localazy
Localazy is used to host the source strings and their translations.
Localazy project
To add new strings, or to translate existing strings, go the the Localazy project: https://localazy.com/p/element. Please follow the key naming rules (see below).
Never edit manually the files localazy.xml or translations.xml!.
Key naming rules
For code clarity and in order to download strings to the correct module, here are some naming rules to follow as much as possible:
- Keys for common strings, i.e. strings that can be used at multiple places must start by
action.if this is a verb, orcommon.if not; - Keys for common accessibility strings must start by
a11y.. Example:a11y.hide_password; - Keys for common strings should be named to match the string. Example:
action.copy_linkfor the stringCopy link; - When creating common strings, make sure to enable "Use dot (.) to create nested keys";
- Keys for strings used in a single screen must start with
screen_followed by the screen name, followed by a free name. Example:screen_onboarding_welcome_title; - Keys can have
_titleor_subtitlesuffixes. Example:screen_onboarding_welcome_title,screen_change_server_subtitle; - For dialogs, keys can have
_dialog_title,_dialog_content, and_dialog_submitsuffixes. Example:screen_signout_confirmation_dialog_title,screen_signout_confirmation_dialog_content,screen_signout_confirmation_dialog_submit; a11y.pattern can be used for strings that are only used for accessibility. Example:a11y.hide_password,screen_roomlist_a11y_create_message;- Strings for error message can start by
error_, or contain_error_if used in a specific screen only. Example:error_some_messages_have_not_been_sent,screen_change_server_error_invalid_homeserver;
Note: those rules applies for strings and for plurals.
Special suffixes
- if a key is suffixed by
_ios, it will not be imported in the Android project; - if a key is suffixed by
_android, it will not be imported in the iOS project.
So feel free to use those suffixes when necessary for instance when the string content is referring to something related to Android only, or iOS only.
Placeholders
Placeholders should have the form %1$s, %1$d, etc.. Please use numbered placeholders. Note that Localazy will take care of converting the placeholder to Android (-> %1$s) and iOS specific format (-> %1$@). Ideally add a comment on Localazy to explain with what the placeholder(s) will be replaced at runtime.
CLI Installation
To install the Localazy client, follow the instructions from here.
Download translations
In the root folder of the project, run:
./tools/localazy/downloadStrings.sh
It will update all the localazy.xml resource files. In case of merge conflicts, just erase the files and download again using the script.
To also include the translations, i.e. the translations.xml files, add --all argument:
./tools/localazy/downloadStrings.sh --all
Add translations to a specific module
Edit the file config.json to add a new module, or add a new item in includeRegex arrays, then run the script again to see the effect.
generateLocalazyConfig.py is the Python script that convert config.json to a localazy configuration file. Generally you should not edit this file.
