Translation

Translation consists of generating strings to be translated from the English docs, pushing them to Transifex, fetching translations back from Transifex, and then you can build the docs in the other languages you need.

To run the steps in the translation workflow, you need to install this repo and its dependencies in your local environment.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt 

And you need to get a Transifex API key, make sure you have access to the BODS project on Transifex

When you add or update the docs you need to do the following so that they can be translated, in the docs directory:

1. Run make gettext to extract translatable English strings.
2. If you have new pages run sphinx-intl update-txconfig-resources --pot-dir _build/gettext --transifex-project-name bods-v01 to register the translation files with Transifex (generates or updates contents .tx/config file).
3. Run tx push -s to push to Transifex.

Now the files are ready to be translated in Transifex.

To fetch new translations when they're done, you need to:

1. Run tx pull -a to fetch all, or tx pull -l ru to fetch a particular language.

To build another language locally use make html (in the docs directory) but pass the language you want:

$ sphinx-build -b html -D language=ru . _build/html/ru
