QGIS Testing Documentation

QGIS Testing Documentation is build from corresponding branche and NOT translated.

Only the current stable branch is translated.

Stable documentation is on http://docs.qgis.org/2.0

Testing is http://docs.qgis.org/testing

And QGIS 1.8 docs http://docs.qgis.org/1.8

Translations are also available via the docs.qgis.org language path: for example for the German language: http://docs.qgis.org/2.0/de

PDF versions of the manual are available here: http://docs.qgis.org/2.0/pdf/ http://docs.qgis.org/1.8/pdf/ and http://docs.qgis.org/testing/pdf

Building the QGIS Documentation

Website is a static generated website using Sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/), based on restructured text sources (rst: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) and html (jinja2) templates.

Most sources are in source/site. Only frontpage and landingpages are in theme/qgis-theme

Styling is in theme/qgis-theme. This theme is used for website and documentation builds. The Website version is the canonical one.

Building is only tested on Linux systems using make.

Build Tools

To be able to run localisation targets you will need Sphinx 1.2b3 which comes with pip. Sphinx coming with most distro's is just 1.1.3. You will get an gettext error with those.

Best to run the make file in a virtual env ( http://www.virtualenv.org/ ):

Move to a directory (~/myvirtualenvs/) and create a virtualenv enabled dir:

virtualenv sphinx # one time action, only to create the environment cd sphinx

And activate this virtualenv

source bin/activate # now you will see sphinx before your prompt: (sphinx)richard@mymachine

Now always activate your environment before building. To deactivate, you can do:

deactivate

If your linux is package based and doesn't have current versions of the tools, it is best to install them in the virtual env too.

You can install all tools in one go via the REQUIREMENTS.txt here in the root of this repo:

pip install -r REQUIREMENTS.txt

Alternatively do it one by one:

pip install sphinx==1.2b3

pip install sphinx-intl

Then build:

make html (to build the english language)

Or a translation

First pull all translations from transifex for your language

tx pull -l nl -f --skip

Then build your language

make html LANG=nl

to build the dutch version. Currently available languages are: ca_ES da_DK de en es fa fi fr hi id it ja km_KH ko_KR nl pt_PT ro ru zh_CN zh_TW

Translating the english QGIS Documentation

Translating of the Documentation is handled via transifex: http://www.transifex.com

ONLY the current stable branch is translated.

If you want to help translating: create an account and join one of the translation teams of the qgis project: https://www.transifex.com/organization/qgis

Every language has it's own maintainer, please contact them, if you want to help. You find a list of current language maintainers at the end of this document. If your language is not listed, please contact the QGIS-Community-Team Mailinglist and ask for help.
