Problem uploading translation file in .po format - "A timeout occurred - Error code 524"

[Pawel-Mazur-Zam]

Describe the problem

The problem with uploading the translation seems to be in the file upload code (this applies when the file isn't 100% translated). I translated all the strings so that the .po file was 100% translated and tried uploading it, and it worked.

Solution brainstorm

In my opinion, the file upload code needs to be changed; the dependency should exclude processing empty strings.

This is a Cloudflare-specific error; you might want to increase the timeout in your Cloudflare configuration. See https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/http-status-codes/cloudflare-5xx-errors/error-524/

[Pawel-Mazur-Zam]

This error only occurs when the translation is incomplete. If the translation is 100% complete, this error doesn't occur, and the file is transferred quite quickly.

From this, I conclude that the timeout is caused by processing empty translation strings (why process empty strings if they don't change anything in the translation? They should be omitted, thus speeding up the translation update time).

[nijel]

Updating strings can take some time; you need to configure the Cloudflare timeout to a higher value.

We are also running into this issue. Increasing the timeout on CF beyond 120 seconds requires an Enterprise account.

Is there no way to implement status polling for these processes to avoid getting this error?

[nijel]

There is no technical reason why it couldn't be implemented.

PS: You might also consider not using Cloudflare proxying.
