Translation Process

The general process pgRouting use for documentation:

• The developer use ReStructuredText syntax to write the documentation.
• That documentation is then used with Sphinx to generate the html, man, pdf,
• Also using Sphinx-intl the *.pot files are generated.
• Those *.pot files are used by Transifex and they contain only the strings that need to be translated.
• Translator works with those strings.
• When all the *.pot files have been translated into a language, the mantainers proceed to download the generated *.po files that contain the translated strings
• A little bit of process and we ale able to generate the html, man, pdf for the language downloaded.
