Description

To obtain the translation from Transifex, we execute the command tx pull -l ar in the edx-platform shell. This command was functional until a month ago, but presently it is generating an error message when an attempt is made to retrieve translations. The error message reads as follows:

tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.djangojs-studio doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.mako doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.mako-studio doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.wiki doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.edx_proctoring_proctortrack doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.djangojs-partial doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.djangojs-studio doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.djangojs-account-settings-view doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.underscore doesn't exist on the server.
tx ERROR: Resource edx-platform.underscore-studio doesn't exist on the server.

The issue is more on Transifex's side but I didn't find any other thread to mention this. We have a custom pipeline that fetches Transifex translations occasionally but now it's failing, It's a bit urgent to fix this issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing tx pull -l ar in the edx-platform shell and compare the reported resource names with the localization process in the linked wiki page. Done means the custom translation-fetch pipeline can retrieve the requested Arabic resources without the listed missing-resource errors.
