sphinx-intl is a utility tool that provides several features that make it easy to translate and to apply translation to Sphinx generated document. Optional: support the Transifex service for translation with Sphinx .
QuickStart for sphinx translation
This section describe to translate with Sphinx and sphinx-intl command.
Create your document by using Sphinx.
Add configurations to your conf.py:
locale_dirs = ['locale/'] #path is example but recommended. gettext_compact = False #optional.
locale_dirs is essential and gettext_compact is optional.
Extract document’s translatable messages into pot files:
$ make gettext
Setup/Update your locale_dirs:
$ sphinx-intl update -l de -l ja
Done. You got these directories that contain po files:
./locale/pot/
./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/
./locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/
Translate your po files under ./locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/.
Build mo files and make translated document:
$ sphinx-intl build $ make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='ja'" html
That’s all!

export SPHINXINTL_LANGUAGE=de,ja
This is the same as passing the option to sphinx-intl directly:
sphinx-intl --language=de --language=ja <command>
