Editor's Notes
- #2 This session title is: Easy contributable internationalization process with Sphinx.
- #3 At first, Let me introduce myself. My name is Takayuki Shimizukawa came from Japan. I do 3 opensource works. 1. Sphinx co-maintainer since the end of 2011. 2. organize Sphinx-users.jp users group in Japan. 3. member of PyCon JP Committee. And I'm working for BePROUD. We develop web applications for business customers.
- #4 Before my main presentation, I'd like to introduce "PyCon JP 2015" in Tokyo Japan. We will held the event in this October.
- #5 Registration is opened. Early bird ticket is on sale its up to 210 sheet. And We're looking for session speakers. The CfP is opened until July 15th. Please join us and/or please apply for your proposal.
- #6 This is Agenda of this session. 1. Sphinx introduction & Setup for i18n. 2. A easy way and Non easy ways to translate 3. Sphinx i18n feature 4. Automated translation process with several services 5. Tips, tricks, traps
- #7 First subject, I'll introduce the sphinx introduction.
- #8 What is Sphinx? Sphinx is a documentation generator. Sphinx generates doc as several output formats from text markup
- #9 Many docs are written by Sphinx, As you see. For examples, these libraries and tools are using it. Especially, Python libraries and tools are generating document form source code by using Sphinx. And Non python libraries/tools also use Sphinx.
- #10 Relation between Sphinx and Docutils. Sphinx is created in 2007 based upon Docutils library. Docutils and Sphinx supports reStructuredText it called reST, it's an extensible markup.
- #11 Comparing Docutils and Sphinx. OK, I'll read it. 1. D: handle Single page. 1. S: can handle multiple pages. 2. D: can link to others with full name include ext as like as '.html'. 2. S: can connect all pages under single tree structure by using toctree. 3. D: can make Cross reference in a page 3. S: can make cross reference over each other pages (without a extension). 4. D: provides writers: html, latex, man, xml, ... 4. S: will provide additional writers: html(w/ themes), pdf(latex), texinfo, epub, … 5. D: can handle standard reST markup specs 5. S: will provide additional markup specs: autodoc directive and so on
- #12 Sphinx extend the i18n mechanism to provide translation feature. In this session, let's take a look the i18n feature.
- #13 As an aside, this is a internal and external interfaces and structures of the Sphinx. At today's night market, I'll open the booth. If you are interesting in this, please come on!
- #14 How to install Sphinx with i18n tools. You need to install sphinx to build a sphinx document. Also you need to install sphinx-intl and transifex-client for translation. IMO, newer transifex is not stable, so I'm using older one.
- #15 At first, you should get source code whether from github or other place to translate it. In this case, the source code already has a sphinx doc directory. So, type "make html" in doc directory to generate html output. You can see the output in _build/html directory.
- #16 Now you can see the directories/files structure, like this. （ポインタ） * Target library for doc that is cloned from existent repository. * Document build output that was generated by "make html" * Document source that was generated by "sphinx-quickstart" （クリック） This is a conf.py file in the doc directory. You should add these 2 lines to the conf.py * Line-3rd: set a language code you want to use for output doc. * Line-4th: set a directory relative path from conf.py location. The locale directory will have translation catalog files. Now setup is over.
- #17 Well, it is the main subjects from here. Easy contributable internationalization process with Sphinx.
- #18 What is internationalization? It's usually called I18N. The internationalization process is sometimes called translation or localization enablement without rewriting the source code from a technical point of view. "without rewriting the source code from a technical point of view" is important.
- #19 What is easy contributable? Some software users or document readers have wanted to contribute by translation. But, if the preparation of the translation takes long time or requires many kind of skill, they are frustrated and give up. "Easy contributable" is the STATE that will be accepted the contributions immediately.
- #20 So, for the comparison, I'll introduce the three cases of difficult to contribute. First one. The manual are provided only in the HTML files. Of course, you can translate it. But, usually the html files are frequently updated. How do you follow the original changes to update your translations? This is the first case. I have no idea how to follow the original changes.
- #21 2nd example. When the manual are generated from reST files and docstrings in the source files, You can rewrite original files to translate it. But this approach has three problems: No1. You must be careful to maintain reStructuredText structure. No2. It's hard to divide translation tasks for a number of volunteer translators. No3. It's hard to pursue the upstream document source that is frequently updated.
- #22 last example. OK, we are engineers. We can use git! （上を読む） Additionally, in this case, the repository owner should allow write access permission for each translators. This is also not a easy way.
- #23 Well then, what is a easy way? My opinion is this. Left side is Not a easy way. Right side is A easy way. We need a easy way. The combination of the Sphinx i18n feature and some of the services can realize such a mechanism. That's what is the goal of this session I'll explain what how to create the mechanism in this session. OK, let's move forward.
- #24 3rd Subject. Sphinx i18n feature. I'll explain the detail of the feature.
- #25 Sphinx i18n feature is composed of two functions. First one is the generation pot files from reST files. pot file is a famous translation catalog format for gettext that is used for i18n, you know. Second one is the generation translated html files with using po files that is translated version of catalogs. It's the human work to prepare the translated po files from the pot files.
- #26 Like this, Converting the POT files into PO files is the job of humans. （クリック）In this flow, Author generate pot file at first part, and then, Author ask translators to translate them. （クリック）Translators receive the pot files from Author in some way, then translate them. （クリック）Once it has been finished, translators send back the po files to Author. Let's look a little more detail from first part.
- #27 Author can use "make gettext" command to generate pot files. "make gettext" command extract text from reST files and python sources that referenced by autodoc. It means, you can translate them into any language without rewriting the original reST files and python source files. As you see, pot translation catalog makes easy to translate from one language to another languages. "msgid" line have a original sentence. "msgstr" line will have translated one.
- #28 Translated PO files should have as a right side structure. "locale" directory has "zh_tw" and it has "LC_MESSAGES" directory, and it has translated PO files. PO files are copies of POT files with changed file's extension. If you want to translate it into other languages, like 'ja', you can create other directories under "locale" directory. When original POT files are updated by changing of original document, you should update PO files too. If you had done it manually, it is very hard. You can automated it by sphinx-intl.
- #29 At first, sphinx-intl copy pot files and rename them. When the document is changed, translators can use sphinx-intl to update PO differences. By same command. As you see, translators can finish the boring tasks by one command. sphinx-intl copy pot files and rename them on behalf of you. sphinx-intl also update differences for each po files when the document is changed. It's easy to use. As a consequence of introducing the sphinx-intl tool, translators can concentrate for translation.
- #30 This is a translation work. Translators can use their favorite editors or helpful tools/services easily that provide translation support features like a translation memory, recommending similar translation, glossary and auto-translation. Once the translation is complete, finally let's run the "make html" command.
- #31 Finally author and translators can run "make html" and can get translated output w/o editing reST and python code. This is a translated HTML sample. Internally, Sphinx parse reST file and replace them into translated one by using po file.
- #32 Entire process to translate sphinx docs is this. If you translate some sphinx document without using the i18n feature, you need to rewrite original document source files. The Sphinx i18n feature provides a easy way to translate a document as you seen.
- #33 So far, we've found the mechanism of i18n of Sphinx. In 4th Subject, Automated translation process with several services, we will continue to automate this mechanism.
- #34 Right now, we have seen an overall picture of the process. Actually, I have a thing that was not pictured here. （クリック） Yes, these commands such as "make blah blah" require your hands to invoke. In other words, the translator must learn such steps, yet. Additionally, it would be difficult to translate in parallel. It's not a easy way, you know.
- #35 OK, Let's make it to be automation and parallelization. And then, the translator doesn't need to know the mechanism. And, make the translation work possible to parallelize. Let's take a look at from the parallelization of the translation work.
- #36 Once you get po files, you can use helpful tools/services easily that provide translation support features like a translation memory, recommending similar translation, glossary and auto-translation. In particular, the use of the online translation service is important for parallelization. I'd like to introduce the Transifex as a online translation service.
- #37 Transifex provides the following functions: Upload pot and download po files by API, glossary feature, translation memory, recommending translations, automatic translation by using Google / Microsoft API. Because you can do translation on the Web screen, you can translate them with other translators in parallel.
- #38 Translation on Transifex web console. 1. You can select one untranslated message 2. And Translate it by your self, or by machine translation 3. If the message contains long module or method name, you can click the icon to copy original to translation box w/o typing. 4. Sometimes, you are suggested translation messages from other translator, or Translation Memory. Translation Memory (called TM) pick up suggestions from similar translation in the project or its historical changes. For example, When Doc Author fix a typo, translation will be discarded. However, TM suggests previous translation that matches 99% with current original message. 5. Once you finish the translation, you can save it. 6. Optionally, reviewer can review it.
- #39 We have made translation parallelization. Next. Let's automate the central part.
- #40 The procedure you want to automate is made up of 6 steps. At first, we will review the 6 steps.
- #41 First step is, Clone repository to be translated. Step 2. make gettext to generate translation catalog. Step 3. Upload pot translation catalog source. Step 4. Download translated po files. Step 5. "make html" command to generate translated doc. Step 6. Upload html to publish it That's all. Next, we will replace these all steps on the command line.
- #42 This is the command line that include the steps. Line1: install sphinx and relates tools Line2: clone repository Line4: create a transifex account file by using sphinx-intl that reference environment variables (USERNAME and PASSWORD). Line5: create a transifex config file by using sphinx-intl that also reference a environment variable (PROJECT_NAME) Line6: generate pot files by make gettext Line7: update resources information in transifex config file that also reference a environment variable (POT_DIR) Line8: push pot files to transifex Line9: pull translated po files from transifex Line10: make html to generate translated html with using translated catalogs. Now we replaced 5 steps on the command line, except HTML uploading part. I'll explain the part later. As you seen above, You can automate the process by this script. Rest of work is preparing a environment to run the script automatically. As one of the environment, I'll introduce the drone.io service.
- #43 The drone.io is a continuous integration service. Drone integrates seamlessly with Github, Bitbucket and Google Code to make setup fast and simple. Drone also integrates with Amazon, Heroku, Google AppEngine and more. For custom deployments you can use SSH and shell scripts. You can use the service for public project without charge.
- #44 In my case, I usually use Github and S3 integrations. Process of that is, （クリック） 1. Push notification from GitHub 2. That invoke the script you've seen 3. Then, deploy html files onto S3 storage. (You need a publish html setting of S3) If you set WebHook notification URL to transifex hook setting, updating translations also invoke the drone.io script.
- #45 By using drone.io service, automation can be achieved. Upper-Left process is replaced with Right-Down one.
- #46 1 WebHook invoke the script. The script execute commands 2, 3, 4, 5. Finally drone.io deployment feature will deploy HTML to AWS S3 storage. As this, we got the automated mechanism by using drone.io environment.
- #47 In summary, let's look at the results of the automation at each point of view as author and translators. At first, a point of view from the doc author. When author push to the repository, translation source of Transifex will be updated, and author can check the translated html in the site. Doc Author doesn't require annoying procedure.
- #48 The second is, a point of view from doc translators. They can translate the document in parallel with; No git, No file, No conflict. Translation source are updated Automatically They can get a translated HTML output w/o hand-build. It means that the translation contributors can focus on the translation.
- #49 By the mechanism of automation, both of doc author and translators will provide the maximum effect with a minimum of effort.
- #50 I'd like to introduce some of the tips.
- #51 Drone.io limits 15mins for a build. If your process takes more than 15 minutes, you may be able to reduce the installation time with using wheel. Wheel package is a installation format. Installation speed is much faster than install from source distribution. If you interested in it, please refer to https://bitbucket.org/sphinxjp/docutils-translation/
- #52 Version of transifex-client. Looks like transifex-client 0.11b3 is not stable, for me. Especially for Windows users. If you have encountered trouble with using newer version, please try: $ pip install "transifex-client=0.8"
- #53 This is a New project page of Drone.io. Drone.io only list-up repositories which you have admin permission. Because drone.io setup webhook, admin permission is required. However, if you prepare a empty repository for drone.io usage, you can create a drone.io project. It means you can prepare the i18n automation environment, except webhook push from github. I think, project owner might be setup the webhook url for translation work, if you ask it. It's bit a hacky way. But works.
- #54 These 3 examples are using earlier techniques.
