Distutils/Setuptools Integration Translating Applications with Babel
================================ -----------------------------------
You can configure different parts of the theme. After you marked all the strings you want to translate in this Sphinx theme with the gettext function
alias ``_('str')`` or ``{% trans %}string 1, string 2, string 3, etc.{% endtrans %}`` blocks.
Then its time to create a .pot file. A .pot file contains all the strings and is the template for a
.po file which contains the translated strings. The ``babel`` package can do all that for you.
.. note::
The ``babel`` package install a command called ``pybabel``, please, check out for more options at
http://babel.pocoo.org/en/latest/cmdline.html
Jinja2 HTML templates
---------------------
This Sphinx theme using a awesome modern and designer-friendly HTML templating language for Python
called ``Jinja2``. The ``Jinja2`` package is used for that.
Configuration
=============
For enable the *Internationalization and Localization* for this Sphinx Theme, you will need checkout
the following configurations:
Translations files
------------------
The translations files are based on ``gettext`` format and they are placed at the
:file:`sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/` directory, like it showing the following structure:
.. code:: bash
sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/
├── es
│   └── LC_MESSAGES
│   ├── sphinx.mo
│   └── sphinx.po
└── sphinx.pot
- The :file:`sphinx.pot` file, is the **Portable Object Template** Gettext format.
- The :file:`sphinx.po` file, is the **Portable Object** Gettext format to translate.
- The :file:`sphinx.mo` file, is the **Machine Object** Gettext format generated later of translate
your :file:`sphinx.po` file via the catalog compilation.
Babel Configurations
--------------------
The ``babel`` packages provides commands for integration into :file:`setup.py` scripts, based on either
the ``distutils`` package that is part of the Python standard library, or the third-party ``setuptools``
package.
Then :file:`setup.cfg` file simply configures the behavior of the various setup commands for this package.
This file contains the options that you can be specified on the command-line. The :file:`setup.cfg` file
at root folder of this Sphinx theme, look like the following:
.. code:: cfg
[bdist_wheel]
universal = 1
# Babel configurations for setup.py scripts
[compile_catalog]
domain = sphinx
directory = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/
[extract_messages]
mapping_file = babel.cfg
output_file = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
keywords = _ l_ lazy_gettext
[init_catalog]
input_file = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
output_file = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po
[update_catalog]
domain = sphinx
input_file = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
output_dir = sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/

- `Writing the Setup Configuration File <https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/configfile.html>`_.
- `How setup this file for babel configurations <http://babel.pocoo.org/en/latest/setup.html>`_.
Extraction Configurations
-------------------------
First of all you have to get into the folder where you have your Sphinx theme and create a mapping file
called :file:`babel.cfg` that contains the **extraction from Jinja2 HTML templates** configurations.
For typical Sphinx extensions, this is what you want in there:
.. code:: cfg
# Extraction from Jinja2 HTML templates
[jinja2: **/**.html]
encoding = utf-8
ignore_tags = script,style
include_attrs = alt title summary placeholder

- `A previous file example description <http://babel.pocoo.org/en/latest/messages.html#extraction-method-mapping-and-configuration>`_
Administrative Tasks
====================
The ``babel`` package have a *Distutils/Setuptools Integration* which supports the options
defined in the :file:`setup.cfg` file that can be executed via command line.
These options are the commonly using as **"Translations Administrative Tasks"** and the most
used tasks are described below:
Extract messages
----------------
It can extract localizable messages from a variety of difference source files,
and generate a PO (portable object) template file from the collected messages.
Running the command will produce a PO template file:
.. code:: bash
$ python ./setup.py extract_messages -o ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
.. $ python ./setup.py extract_messages --output-file ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
.. tip::
More options please, check out http://babel.pocoo.org/en/latest/setup.html#extract-messages
Init catalog
------------
It creates a new translation catalog based on a PO template file (POT).
Running the command will produce a PO file:
.. code:: bash
$ python ./setup.py init_catalog -l es -i ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot -o ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po
running init_catalog
creating catalog './sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po' based on './sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot'
.. tip::
More options please, check out http://babel.pocoo.org/en/latest/setup.html#init-catalog
Update catalog
--------------
It updates an existing translations catalog based on a PO template file (POT).
Running the following command will update a PO file:
.. code:: bash
$ python ./setup.py update_catalog -l es -i ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot -o ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po
running update_catalog
updating catalog ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/sphinx.po based on ./sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/sphinx.pot
