`potranslator` is a package to easily translate po and pot files generated by Sphinx_ or other tools in any language supported by Google Translate.

`potranslator` auto-detects the language in the original pot files and auto-translates the pot files into the supplied target languages.

The Command Line Interface of `potranslator` and its documentation are based on sphinx-intl_.

Optional: supports the Transifex collaborative service to upload the auto-generated translations to transifex_ for collaborative corrections of the translations.

Quick Start for auto-translation with potranslator
==================================================

This section describes how to translate documents generated by Sphinx_ with the `potranslator` command.

1. Create your document(s) by using Sphinx:

    .. code-block:: console

        $ sphinx-build -b html /path/to/docs path/to/docs/_build

2. Optionally add the settings to your `conf.py` if you have one:

    .. code-block:: python

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

   `locale_dirs` is required and `gettext_compact` is optional.


3. Extract the document's translatable messages into pot files (make sure you are in the folder containing `make.bat` and `Makefile` if you are on windows):

    .. code-block:: console

        $ make gettext


4. Translate/Update your documents in German and Japanese:

    .. code-block:: console

        $ potranslator update -p _build/gettext -l de -l ja

   Done. You got these directories that contain po files with auto-translated entries:

   .. code-block:: console

        ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/
        ./locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/


5. Translate/Update your documents in Japanese, build the compiled mo files and generate the translated html documents:

    Command line (for Unix systems):

    .. code-block:: console

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


    Command line (for Windows cmd.exe):

    .. code-block:: console

        > set SPHINXOPTS=-D language=de
        > potranslator build
        > .\make.bat html

    Command line (for PowerShell):

    .. code-block:: console

        > Set-Item env:SPHINXOPTS "-D language=de"
        > potranslator build
        > .\make.bat html

That's all!


Basic Features
==============

* Translate from pot files or update existing po files with auto-generated translation.
* Build mo files from translated po or pot files.

Requirements for the basic features
-----------------------------------

- Python 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 2.7, pypy.
- external libraries: setuptools_, six_, babel_, click_, googletrans_, polib_


Optional features
=================
These features need the `transifex-client`_ library.

* create a .transifexrc file from an environment variable, without interactive input.
* create a .tx/config file without interactive input.
* update a .tx/config file from locale/pot files automatically.
* build mo files from po files in the locale directory.

You need to use the `tx` command to use the following features:

* `tx push -s` : push pot (translation catalogs) to transifex.
* `tx pull -l ja` : pull po (translated catalogs) from transifex.

Requirements for the optional features
--------------------------------------

- Your transifex_ account if you want to upload/download po files from transifex.

- external library: `transifex-client`_


Installation
============

It is strongly recommended to use virtualenv for this procedure:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install potranslator

If you want to use the `Optional Features`_, you need install this additional library:

.. code-block:: console

    $ pip install potranslator[transifex]


Commands, options, environment variables
========================================

Commands
--------

Type `potranslator` without arguments to show the help instructions.


Setup environment variables
---------------------------

All command-line options can be set with environment variables using the format POTRANSLATOR_<UPPER_LONG_NAME> .

Dashes (-) have to replaced with underscores (_).

For example, to set the target languages:

.. code-block:: console

   $ export POTRANSLATOR_LANGUAGE=de,ja

On the Windows command line:

.. code-block:: console

    > set POTRANSLATOR_LANGUAGE=de,ja


This is the same as passing the option to potranslator directly:

.. code-block:: console

   $ potranslator <command> --language=de --language=ja


Setup sphinx conf.py
--------------------

Add the following settings to your sphinx document's conf.py if it exists:

.. code-block:: python

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


Setup Makefile / make.bat
-------------------------

`make gettext` will generate pot files into the `_build/gettext` directory,
however pot files can be generated in the `locale/pot` directory if convenient.

You can do that by replacing `_build/gettext` with `locale/pot` in your
`Makefile` and/or `make.bat` that was generated by sphinx-quickstart.
