Description

Describe the change

freedomofpress/securedrop#6712 will remove the current GNOME desktop shortcuts in favor of a GNOME Shell extension, which can share translation catalogs and tooling with the main SecureDrop Web applications. The internationalization and translation documentation will need to be updated to reflect this change, in particular:

  • Remove, and remove references to, the securedrop/desktop Weblate component
  • Remove references to the i18n_tool.py --translate-desktop command

How will this impact users?

Translators will have one less Weblate component to monitor and update.

Localization Managers will have fewer commands to run during the localization cycle.

Research direction

Start by searching the internationalization and translation documentation for the securedrop/desktop Weblate component and the i18n_tool.py --translate-desktop command. Remove the component and its references, remove the command references, and verify that the localization workflow documentation reflects the GNOME Shell extension change.
