Zammad user documentation

If you want to contribute to the Zammad documentation you can edit the rst files and create pull requests.

We take care about the translation part, so please don't change anything else whithin the repository. These changes would be discarded anyway ;)

Note:

*Please modify only .rst files the *.PO and *.MO files are autogenerated!

ReStructuredText markup

If you like to edit the docs use the ReStructuredText markup language. Info about this markup language can be found at:

• http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html
• http://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_themes/sphinx_rtd_theme/demo_docs/source/demo.html

Thanks! ❤ ❤ ❤

Local tests (mostly internal stuff)

If you want to test the docs for yourself you need a local installation of sphinx and gettext.

pip install sphinx sphinx-autobuild sphinx-intl sphinx_rtd_theme

Example for a local HTML build

make html

Example workflow for localization using transifex

If you have to work on the translations you need gettext.

For OS X use HomeBrew or build from source. For Linux use your package manager.

brew install gettext

The workflow itself

create .tx config

tx init

or if you just want to update a ressource

tx set --source -r <project_slug.resource_slug> -l <lang> <file>

make clean

this will generate the strings from the *.rst files

make gettext

this will generate the locales (DE|EN)

sphinx-intl update -p _build/locale/ -l de -l en

this will update the resource files from the pot dir

sphinx-intl update-txconfig-resources --pot-dir _build/locale --transifex-project-name zammad-user-documentation

push to transifex (if configured)

tx push -s

after translation pull needed languages from transifex

tx pull -l en

build the .MO files for use with readthedocs

sh build_mo.sh

After a successful build, push to this repo and readthedocs will update itself.

manual language-based build (_build/html/) (for testing)

make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='de'" html
make -e SPHINXOPTS="-D language='en'" html
