How to check translations
It is important to check your translations by using a real situation where your translation is used. This page describes how to check your translations.
Documentation
Using docs.openstack.org
Translated documents are available at the OpenStack Documentation site. It is updated daily. Most contents are linked from either of:
- http://docs.openstack.org/<lang> contains released documents. Follow "More Releases and Languages" in http://docs.openstack.org/.
- http://docs.openstack.org/draft/draft-index.html contains draft (unreleased) documents.
To build a translated document, you need to update the file
doc-tools-check-languages.conf in each repository, and add
an entry to BOOKS like ["ja"]="install-guide".
Also, to build as a draft, you need to add an entry to
DRAFTS.
For the document in a stable branch, such as the installation guide
for Liberty, you need to update the file
doc-tools-check-languages.conf in the target stable branch
directly. You must add an entry to DRAFTS, which is used as
a special flag for a stable branch.
You can check generated documents for the specified project on http://docs.openstack.org/<branch>/<language>/<document>. For example, the link of Ubuntu Installation Guide for Liberty is http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/ja/install-guide-ubuntu/.
To add a link to the generated document, you need to update the file
www/<lang>/index.html in the
openstack-manuals repository. Note that the web pages are
published from master branch, which contains the pages for
all releases, such as Liberty. Therefore, you don't need to update the
file www/<lang>/index.html in the stable branch.
Application developer documentation
We can translate the application developer documentations, such as
API Guide, as api-site resources in Zanata.
OpenStack developer documentation
Currently, we do not support translations for OpenStack developer documents: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/<project>
OpenStack Dashboard
Translation check site
The infra and i18n teams are preparing the translation check site to check dashboard translations. It is under preparation.
Running DevStack
Another convenient way is to check dashboard translations is to run
DevStack in your local environment. To run DevStack, you need to prepare
local.conf file, but no worries. Several
local.conf files are shared, for example1.
From my experience, you need a machine with two or four CPU core, 8 GB
memory and 20 GB disk to run DevStack comfortablely.
$ git clone http://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack.git
$ cd devstack
<prepare local.conf>
$ ./stack.sh
<wait and wait... it takes 20 or 30 minutes>Translations are being imported into a project repository daily, so in most cases you do not need to pull translations from Zanata manually.
