How to translate the NodeBB docs ?

unixfox

I want to translate the docs in french ? How do I do that?

psychobunny

I haven't tried this yet, but I guess now is a good time to figure it out

a_5mith

@psychobunny Well, the docs automatically go to /en/, so I'd assume it supports /fr/ somewhere.

unixfox

Mmh that's good : https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-docs-fr !

psychobunny

I followed this guide: http://read-the-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/localization.html

And for some reason I can't get this to hook up to http://docs.nodebb.org/fr/latest

For now the URL is here: http://nodebb-francais.readthedocs.org/ until I figure it out

p.s. I gave you write access to the french repository, so you can just make changes without having to go through pull requests

This is strange.

unixfox

After reading the docs, you should put nodebb-french for the repository on github and not nodebb-docs-fr.

I don't have write access on the french repository ;).

psychobunny

No luck I changed the repository to https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-french

And updated the repo on readthedocs, and re-built the documentation. Still 404'ing

p.s. just gave you write access, added you to the translation team but forgot to add the team to the repo

unixfox

@psychobunny wtf xD : https://docs.nodebb.org/fr/latest/. There is no modification of my commit o.O (https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-french/commit/95386eff74dfea55e7afb424912e52fb57e8a9a3).

psychobunny

Oh wtf haha, nice!... maybe it just took a few minutes for it to work. Awesome

There is no modification of my commit o.O (https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-french/commit/95386eff74dfea55e7afb424912e52fb57e8a9a3).

EDIT: I have to set up the build hook, give me a minute

psychobunny

Okay cool, so now everytime somebody makes a commit, it will automatically start building the latest version. You can monitor the progress by visiting here:

Builds | Read the Docs

(readthedocs.org)

unixfox

@psychobunny Ok thank you !

psychobunny

BTW, thanks for volunteering and welcome to the NodeBB documentation translation team

unixfox

@psychobunny Ok. I will start the translation of the docs this afternoon because in UTC+2, it's 1H AM.

markkus

Hey,

Just wondering if you need any more help with the docs... I can help translating it into Estonian language.

a_5mith

@markkus Estonian has to be the best language ever, just for the "Kaks-teist kuud" videos on Youtube.

psychobunny

Oh wow, cool... I'll set up an Estonian fork in a little bit and add you to the translation team What's your GH username?

markkus

@a_5mith

Haha, glad you like it x)

Hey @markkus, just added you to the translation team, so you now have write access here:
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-estonian

Here is the Estonian documentation:

As soon as you commit, it automatically starts building the docs, so you can see its progress on this page

Thanks for helping out
