Building the documentation

Build the docs locally

Assuming a unix based system:

# Make sure you have python3 venv, e.g. for Ubuntu
# If you're not sure, try creating a venv, and see if it errors
sudo apt-get install python3-venv

# Install submodules
git submodule init
git submodule update

# Create a venv
python3 -m venv .ve    

# Enter the venv, needs to be run for every new shell
source .ve/bin/activate

# Install requirements
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Build the docs
cd docs
make dirhtml

Built docs are in docs/_build/dirhtml.

Viewing the docs:

cd _build/dirhtml
python -m http.server

Then go to http://localhost:8000/ in a browser.

Building on readthedocs

Initial setup:

• Select your repo at: https://readthedocs.org/dashboard/import/
• Tick: "Edit advanced project options:"
• Click "Next" button
• Documentation type: "Sphinx HtmlDir"
• Click "Finish" button
• Click "Admin" button, then "Advanced Settings" in the left hand nav
• Requirements file: requirements.txt
• Python interpreter: "CPython 3.x"
• Click "Submit" button

Translations

Translations are generally done using this transifex project. Create one at https://www.transifex.com/OpenDataServices/add/ :

• Select "Public project" and "File-based Project".
• Add the url of the project to this README, e.g. https://www.transifex.com/OpenDataServices/sphinx-base/dashboard/

How to push new text up to Transifex:

First, do a local build, then:

cd docs
make gettext
sphinx-intl update-txconfig-resources --transifex-project-name <project-name>
tx push -s

When the translations are filled in transifex you need to run:

tx pull -a -f

These should then be commited and then pushed to GitHub (so that actual deployed translations are always version controlled).

Running the build in another language:

make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='<language code>'" html

If translations are added locally, these can also be pushed up to Transifex:

tx push -t --skip
