Part of edX code.
An independent comment system which supports voting and nested comments. It also supports features including instructor endorsement for education-aimed discussion platforms.
To run the comments service in a language other than English, set the
SERVICE_LANGUAGE environment variable to the language code for the
desired language. Its default value is en-US.
Setting the language has no effect on user content stored by the service.
However, there are a few data validation messages that may be seen by end
users via the frontend in edx-platform. These will be
translated to SERVICE_LANGUAGE assuming a suitable translation file is
found in the locale/ directory.
edX uses Transifex to host translations. To use the Transifex client, be sure
it is installed (pip install transifex-client will do this for you), and
follow the instructions here to set up your .transifexrc file.
To upload strings to Transifex for translation when you change the set
of translatable strings: bundle exec rake i18n:push
To fetch the latest translations from Transifex: bundle exec rake i18n:pull
The repository includes some translations so they will be available
upon deployment. To commit an update to these: bundle exec rake i18n:commit
