Hi folks!

I am trying to set up the automated sync of translations from our Read the Docs project up to Transifex.

I have followed these instructions to get the files created and pushed them up to Transifex manually, as described in the docs: [Manage Translations for Sphinx projects — Read the Docs user documentation 8.7.0 documentation](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/manage-translations-sphinx.html)

I have then made a 100% translation to en\_GB on Transifex, but when I try to sync to GitHub I am getting (replicated for each translation):

```auto
o:mautic:p:mautic-end-user-documentation:r:docs_translations_authentication:l:en_GB

Transifex resource with project slug `mautic-end-user-documentation` and resource slug `docs_translations_authentication` has no metadata to indicate the GitHub file path

```

I have checked that the files are present in the GitHub repo, per [this thread](https://community.transifex.com/t/no-prs-in-github/3075/2).

I also realised the .pot files had not been pushed due to a .gitignore rule, but even after fixing that, still have the problem.

Repo is here: [GitHub - mautic/user-documentation](https://github.com/mautic/user-documentation) and transifex.yml file is here:  
[user-documentation/transifex.yml at main · mautic/user-documentation · GitHub](https://github.com/mautic/user-documentation/blob/main/transifex.yml).

I don’t understand what is meant by [this thread](https://community.transifex.com/t/issue-with-github-integraction-no-metadata-to-github-file-path/1652/6), so I don’t know how to check if it applies to this situation or not.

Here is what my slug looks like (as generated when doing the bulk mapping with the Transifex client) - matches what we have in GitHub for the filenames, preceded by the folder name.

Would really value a nudge in the right direction!
