A python package to easily translate po and pot files in any language supported by Google Translate.
Project description
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.
Create your document(s) by using Sphinx:
$ sphinx-build -b html /path/to/docs path/to/docs/_build
Optionally add the settings to your conf.py if you have one:
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.
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):
$ make gettext
Translate/Update your documents in German and Japanese:
$ potranslator update -p _build/gettext -l de -l ja
Done. You got these directories that contain po files with auto-translated entries:
./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ ./locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/
Translate/Update your documents in Japanese, build the compiled mo files and generate the translated html documents:
Command line (for Unix systems):
$ potranslator build $ make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='ja'" html
Command line (for Windows cmd.exe):
> set SPHINXOPTS=-D language=de > potranslator build > .\make.bat html
Command line (for PowerShell):
> 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:
$ pip install potranslator
If you want to use the Optional Features, you need install this additional library:
$ 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:
$ export POTRANSLATOR_LANGUAGE=de,ja
On the Windows command line:
> set POTRANSLATOR_LANGUAGE=de,ja
This is the same as passing the option to potranslator directly:
$ potranslator <command> --language=de --language=ja
Setup sphinx conf.py
Add the following settings to your sphinx document’s conf.py if it exists:
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.
