Translation of image captions, the index and others

[Kristina D.C. Hoeppner]

Hello,

We use Sphinx for writing a user manual (http://manual.mahara.org) and have translations set up in Launchpad. Since it's a user manual, it also has a lot of screenshots. One of our developers created a script (should all sit in https://gitorious.org/mahara/manual; works on Ubuntu 12.04 server and there is also a packaging repo) that takes localized screenshots and replaces the original ones so that the manual can pretty much be fully translated, e.g. http://manual.mahara.org/de/1.5

However, a few things don't seem to get translated, e.g. image captions and index entries. Is there a way to include them in the pot files? Also, is there a way to tell Sphinx that strings that appear in a sidebar or in the config file are actually strings and thus should also be translated? This would be helpful to localise the first part of the breadcrumbs, the license in the footer and also links that currently only appear in English.

Any tip on how to achieve that would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Kristina

Hi Kristina,

Which version of Sphinx are you using?
Many i18n issues ware resolved at Sphinx-1.2b1.
(exclude title string in the conf.py...)

However 1.2b1 is in beta stage.
If you find any problem, please report that to issue tracker.

Hello Takayuki,

We are using Sphinx 1.1.3.

I'll see that I can get 1.2 beta installed and run through the translations.

Thanks
Kristina
