Project description

https://travis-ci.org/sphinx-doc/sphinx-intl.svg?branch=master

sphinx-intl is a utility tool that provides several features that make it easy to translate and to apply translation to Sphinx generated document. Optional: support the Transifex service for translation with Sphinx .

QuickStart for sphinx translation

This section describe to translate with Sphinx and sphinx-intl command.

  1. Create your document by using Sphinx.

  2. Add configurations to your conf.py:

    locale_dirs = ['locale/']   #path is example but recommended.
    gettext_compact = False     #optional.

    locale_dirs is required and gettext_compact is optional.

  3. Extract document’s translatable messages into pot files:

    $ make gettext
  4. Setup/Update your locale_dir:

    $ sphinx-intl update -p _build/gettext -l de -l ja

    Done. You got these directories that contain po files:

    • ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/

    • ./locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/

  5. Translate your po files under ./locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/.

  6. Build mo files and make translated document:

    $ sphinx-intl build
    $ make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='ja'" html

That’s all!

Basic Features

  • create or update po files from pot files.

  • build mo files from po files.

Requirements for basic

Optional features

These features need transifex-client library.

  • create .transifexrc file from environment variable, without interactive input.

  • create .tx/config file without interactive input.

  • update .tx/config file from locale/pot files automatically.

  • build mo files from po files in the locale directory.

You need to use tx command for below features:

  • tx push -s : push pot (translation catalogs) to transifex.

  • tx pull -l ja : pull po (translated catalogs) from transifex.

Requirements for optional

  • Your transifex account if you want to download po files from transifex or you want to translate on transifex.

  • external library: transifex-client

Installation

Recommend strongly: use virtualenv for this procedure:

$ pip install sphinx-intl

If you want to use Optional Features, you need install additional library:

$ pip install sphinx-intl[transifex]

Commands, options, environment variables

Commands

Type sphinx-intl without arguments, options to show command help.

Setup environment variables

All command-line options can be set with environment variables using the format SPHINXINTL_<UPPER_LONG_NAME> . Dashes (-) have to replaced with underscores (_).

For example, to set the languages:

export SPHINXINTL_LANGUAGE=de,ja

This is the same as passing the option to sphinx-intl directly:

sphinx-intl <command> --language=de --language=ja

Setup sphinx conf.py

Add below settings to sphinx document’s conf.py if not exists:

locale_dirs = ['locale/']   #for example
gettext_compact = False     #optional

Setup Makefile / make.bat

make gettext will generate pot files into _build/gettext directory, however pot files should be generated in the locale/pot is convenient. You can be done by replacing _build/gettext with locale/pot in your Makefile and/or make.bat that was generated by sphinx-quickstart.
