POFile:+translate timeouts

See the linked question for another case of POFILE:+translate timing out. Perhaps a different issue. The oops there is: OOPS-2056CL72

OOPS-010b2004af96b83c0be9f93075cf0573 is a modern OOPS.

This bug has been triaged as "critical" and has been open for a year.

It is also getting progressively worse. Many actions now require 5-10 page-refreshes before they will complete. It is very rare that a search/save will complete first time.

My project has 4000+ translations into 50+ languages and my translators are starting to revolt!

Are there plans to fix this bug, or should projects look for alternative solutions?

We have a large backlog of critical bugs caused by years of technical
debt. But we're making progress: 6 months ago we had 410 open critical
bugs, now we have 120. We obviously can't get to them all immediately,
but this one is higher priority (though also higher complexity) than
most of the rest. It's likely that this will be fixed within the next 6
months, but it depends just how deep the performance issues run.

Could you at least change the text of the error message, so it reflects the true situation?
It currently says:

No doubt an error stack trace gets recorded in a logfile. But if nobody dares to have a look in the sesspool, then you also cannot promise appropriate actions are being taken.

6 months are over and no progress.

Are there any plans to fix this issue or should we move our project to transifex?

Transifex looks like a commercial platform. Maybe http://translatewiki.net would be better. There is also the translation of the OSM website located.

Every translation platform would be better than this buggy Launchpad.

I am happy to see that this is the last critical bug still open for Launchpad translations...
Any news?

Last time I worked on the translation (one or two weeks ago) it was simply
impossible to work on the translation due to the permanent timeout issues.
So no positive news from my side.

»last critical bug« this is funny.
Launchpad is an only critical bug for translating.
So many timeouts.
More and more projects leaving launchpad translation and using transifex or other.

I agree, I just wanted to know if a solution was in order of if Launchpad was dead
Actually, I stopped translating as Launchpad is unusable too.
Just checking if there were news, as for me, it is pointless to do work on Launchpad if this is not solved.

Totally unable to access translations today. Is there anything new on this bug?

There are two big problems with this page, shown by the first and last OOPSes in comment #16 respectively:

  - The Launchpad Translations schema is really slow for text searching. Requests affected only by this problem will usually stop OOPSing after a few refreshes get the data cached in RAM. Fixing the schema to make this fast on HDDs is very difficult. But this problem *should* go away in a couple of weeks when we upgrade to new DB servers with SSDs and more RAM.

 - The +translate page needs to preload data it's using, rather than making several hundred queries once it's worked out which translations are relevant. This will be mitigated by the new DB servers, but we need to fix this properly.

+1 for the bug :(
Still unresolved after sooo long.

More and more projects switching the translations to Transifex.

r17046 in stable (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/17046) is part of this bug's fix.

Hi - its good news that the QA for this has passed. Is there a planned dated for rollout of this fix?

Read comment #20 again: "is part of this bug's fix."

It's not completely fixed yet.

r17086 in stable (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/17086) is part of this bug's fix.

We've fixed most of the code problems. We can't make significant further improvements until we get the new database servers up and running, which we're still working on.

In case other Canonical staff need to check on the status of this when Launchpad developers aren't around, the IS ticket is here (I'm afraid this is company-private, but at least having any Canonical employee being able to check is better than nothing):

As of this morning 2014-08-08 07:45 Eastern time, I'm still totally unable to access

Hope this gets fixed really soon.

I have an idea how you could further reduce the server load: I cannot upload/download a translation without going into the translations and loading 10 of them. Maybe the user interface could add buttons in the translation overview. Or, after requesting an upload/download, there could be an intermediate page for the confirmation that the upload file/download request was processed successfully, with no need of loading any translations.

I get this bug often as well, it is a launchpad.net bug. I am trying to translate the Beru project and am severely hindered by this.

I'm running ubuntu 14.04 and using firefox 32.0.

I can get it to work by refreshing 20 or 30 times (i use a browser app for this) my browser, but it's slow progress.

Josm project is still affected by Timeout errors: Error ID: OOPS-9077ed146faa3b84e5c8f7754125e7f1

corrected to project...

Now the bug has its 2nd year anniversary...
4 hours of trying to get ONE File! Horribly!

Edit: Nice! When posting, i get this:
Timeout error, please try again in a few minutes.

I can't eat as much as I want to barf

A user reports that adding &batch=4 (restricting the set of strings to translate to 4) sometimes helps. Maybe this can serve as a workaround and data point (i.e. LP translation pages are less prone to timeouts if asked only to render four strings).

I just readded JOSM

I've been trying to translate fr_CA for the past hour and all I get is Error:Timeout

10 years later, launchpad still is unable to fix its bugs and search doesnt work, nice.
(Error ID: OOPS-571a09fc76b3c21d831076d563208e9a)

The long-awaited new Launchpad database servers were finally deployed recently, and yesterday my colleagues switched the master over to the new hardware. I've just gone through all the timing-out URLs listed directly in this bug and via OOPS reports (including the unrelated one about searching for binary packages by name in a distroarchseries in comment #35), and every one of them that I can still access now appears to load just fine, typically rendering in less than two seconds which is well below our timeout threshold.

I'm hesitant to close this bug outright, as I've only tested GET requests and not POST requests, and it's possible that we still need to do the preloading work mentioned in comment #17; but I think that it is very probably fixed now. Please could people confirm whether translating now works properly without timeouts for you?

Is it possible you lost some translations in the switch? See last comments in https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/10509 .

But other than that I have also not seen the timeout these days, searching works fine and also adding another language for suggestions works fine now.

great, thanks a lot! I have not seen any timeouts by now :)

Translation imports were delayed for up to 12 hours, but no data was
lost. Do you have a specific example, including a link to a relevant
string on Launchpad?

Thanks!

I still get persistent timeouts when requesting https://translations.launchpad.net/~myusername .

Person:+translations (not the page this bug is about, but mentioned in comments #42, #44 and #45) has regressed due to a misconfiguration on the new servers. That one should be snappy again in a few hours.

Been trying to translate Ubuntu for the past two days, focusing on untranslated strings. If there is more than a couple strings, I always get timeout error with OOPS. I can access the resources if I ask to see all strings, but if I then apply the untranslated items filter, timeout!
I just have to give up translating Ubuntu as a whole since this is just wasting my time, very unfortunately!

Consistent timeouts are haunting me once again, this time whenever I try to translate Seahorse.

Critical bug with many affected projects and 5 years now.

Probably someone should check if your timeout settings aren't a bit toooo strict.

Yeah, I can't remember it's been this bad in months. I tried translating for OTA13 this week (w35) and ~3/5 requests timed out.

More often that not, six years after this bug got reported, as of 2017-03-29 I still get an error "Timeout error - Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad." when trying to load Ubuntu translation templates.

I translated for Ubuntu from English to dutch. My webtrees makes use of
this.there must be loads of people who have programs in which the language
can be changed.
Sorry, but I can not give any help. Maybe Ubuntu or Launchpad?

Please leave the files where they are and do not delete or change them.
These are necessary for my family tree (webtrees) to provide changing the
language.
I helped translate most of the words and phrases used in webtrees from
English to Dutch
So please do NOT change anything!

For more info please contact Greg Roach who is one of the makers of
Webtrees.

I translated from English to Dutch for webtrees. Those are probably the PO
files. Do NOT delete these please.

6 years now. Will you fix this problem before we need two digits to
count?

I needed a lot more than a "couple of minutes" to perform a search.
The funniest part? I even got a timeout error to post this comment!

I'm having the same problem but only on this page: https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/bionic/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-universe/fr/+translate?field.alternative_language=fr&field.alternative_language-empty-marker=1&show=untranslated&memo=30&start=30

Impossible to translate.

Bug affects me too:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/bionic/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-universe/fr/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=distribution

I have the problem that i first have to go back via browser and then click on the wanted package again to get the string to translate back. :)

Hi all,

this doesn't have to do with a specified package or some. I think this has to do something with the data transfer from site -> server or server -> site.

Hope this will be fixed soon.

Hi all,

just thinking about the timeout-message:

The error could occur, because something like that happens:

The translator takes a new group of strings he want to translate. This group includes e. g. 100 strings. The server always checks all 100 strings if they have been translated already. The number of strings the server will have to check is very big. So this is where the error could happen.

I've translated a few string-sets with 12 or 20. And the error never happened...

So i think it has to do something with the number of data which will be send to the server to check. It's too big i think.

Seems that this bug is not inside launchpad anymore. If anyone has done a fix to it, nice. And thx. I for myself have no more problems with this bug for a long period of time.

We're still impacted by this bug, more than ever. A simple search must be refreshed a dozen times before getting a result. Here are the OOPSes of the day:

Tried to use another browser to test it out, if the bug still exists. Yes, it does... And all OOPses we get are unfortunately differently adressed.

Very unpleasant bug. When you try translating programs.

(Error ID: OOPS-6ce2e41d4a1fc3371ecbbfa31fafcc74)

Very unpleasant bug. When you try translating programs. And now it lost all translated words. This can no longer be used.

I saw some merge proposal e-mails, so I wanted to try things again, before any changes.

I have always had timeout issues with translations, but we no longer publish the Ubuntu Serverguide in multiple languages, and I only ever went into translations to fix syntax errors so that the thing would compile.

There have also always been issues with the master LP branch for help.ubuntu.com, today being no different. I have always suspected the issues are because the differences between revisions tends to be huge, but do not have any proof. However, the error doesn't seem to be a "timeout" (I thought it was, but that might just be faulty memory). The message I am getting is attached (and sorry if this ends up unrelated).

Attempts to enter this very comment:
Attempt 1: Timeout: number not recorded.
Attempt 2: (Error ID: OOPS-681da197dd183cfcc25eb97be7ea3233)
Attempt 3: (Error ID: OOPS-ca1bec7803de2332f6731b540ef86b5e)
Attempt 4: Is this one.

The two merge proposals I filed today may improve things a bit (particularly the new index), but it's unclear quite how much.

I'm not sure why you encountered that load balancer failure. That is a kind of timeout, but a fairly unusual one. Worth retrying.

The timeouts you got commenting on this bug are unrelated to this bug, and I'd ask that you not discuss them further here in order to avoid further muddying the waters. They're https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1657292.

Thanks for the rely.

Yes, I can get this error whenever I try, seemingly.
I wonder if it is bug 740674, but don't really know.

I am sorry to say that, after 9 years (2011 - 2020), I still get this timeout error on a regular basis. I do understand that it is hard to resolve this problem but it is very annoying.

The error was gone for us for the past 6 months but happens again, stronger than ever :(

Could somebody have a look at this and reply? Search function for translations is totally unusable at the moment. It's even worse than before, where you could at least after several minutes of reload get a result. I tried more than 100 reloads of a query and no result!

I tried with:
for (( i=0; i < 100; ++i )); do curl 'https://translations.launchpad.net/josm/trunk/+pots/josm/sv/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=%3Ctilde%3E' |grep " OOPS"; sleep 2; echo ++$i; done

I think I have a lead on the recent regression by comparing queries before and after; it seems to be something subtle to do with the use of ClassAlias in https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/launchpad/+git/launchpad/+merge/394702. Debugging now.

This should be back to the previous state now (i.e. roughly along the lines of the situation mentioned in comment #85 where the page was slow and might sometimes be a problem but was normally tolerable, rather than just always timing out). Apologies for the inconvenience.
