The tx-client we have in cenbuild is only present for arch i386. Since we have dropped support for i386, we should make the tx available for arch x86_64.
Migrating the tx-client from i386 to x86_64 should be a simple task since we already made the necessary preparations for this in bug 7995. We will still use the precompiled binary that is provided at https://github.com/transifex/cli/releases, since we currently do not have a way of building it ourselves in cenbuild (we do not have meson in place yet).
While we're at it, we might as well provide the most up to date version.
Our routines for uploading new translations to transifex don't work currently. As of bug 7962 we removed the 32-bit Linux client and its build tools. When uploading new translations we use i386 cenbuild arch to have access to the tx-client. This causes problems since we also need to build TigerVNC as part of that build target, and we can no longer build a 32-bit TigerVNC.

This depends on the ca-certificates package, and i made sure to update the requirements for it for x86_64, in the same way it was done when we had a Transifex client under cenbuild/i386. > SHOULD: > > * We should use the most up-to-date version of the tx client for translations. Transifex client for cenbuild/x86_64 is the latest version 1.6.10.
The moved transifex-client works well, successfully updated the Swedish translations in r40710.
> MUST: > ✅ It should be possible to provide language translations via cenbuild arch x86_64. > > ✅ It should be possible to pull and push translations over the internet. I could successfully pull the new translation over the internet using the tx client via cenbuild x86_64. Uploading translations was tested in comment #7. > SHOULD: > > ✅ We should use the most up-to-date version of the tx client for translations. Indeed, verified that tx client in cenbuild x86_64 is using version 1.6.10, which is the latest release. Also looked at the Swedish translation in r40710 and thought it looked good, tested it and could see the correct Swedish translation. Closing.
