Setup

1. create a virtualenv and activate it (I generally mantain all the virtualenvs in a ~/virtualenv but you may create it in your preferred location):

   $ virtualenv --no-site-packages sphinx-env
   $ source sphinx-env/bin/activate
   

2. install sphinx in the virtualenv:

   (sphinx-env)$ pip install sphinx
   

3. clone the github project:

   (sphinx-env)$ git clone https://capooti@github.com/capooti/qgis-sphinx-doc.git
   

4. build the sphinx project with the build.sh script:

   (sphinx-env)./build.sh
   

Some quick note on internationalization

Project administrators must have generated .pot files:

$ sphinx-build -b gettext source/ source/translated/pot/

To add a new language

1. copy the source/translated/pot directory to source/transated/your-language-code directory, where your-language-code is the ISO language code with 2 digits

2. rename the files .pot to .po and edit them

3. compile the .po files you have edited:

   $ msgfmt introduction.po -o translated/it/LC_MESSAGES/introduction.mo
   

4. to build/rebuild all the template files:

   $ sphinx-build -b gettext source/ source/translated/pot/
   

5. This will check if a .po file needs to be updated:

   $ msgmerge source/translated/it/introduction.po
   source/translated/pot/introduction.pot -U
   

6. At this point the translator can check the introduction.po file and check the paragraphs that need to be updated, marked with a #fuzzy tag

Editors

1. Check out Gtranslator
