[Live-demo] [Qgis-tr] Tranifex translation help please - from the OSGeo-Live team

[Baka Niko]

Hi Richard and the QGIS team,

Thank you for holding your hand to us.

As you said, the online version is the latest version. We work on github as
well. [1]

The main output is to generate translated documentation in html pages, and
if we used subervsion and git, we would like to use transifex.
The html pages are generated by sphinx from rst files. Then those pages ar
uploaded online and embedded in the isos we produce.

We tried to generate pdf without good result, but it can be a  nice side
issue.

For the moment, from the folder we were able to push the files in the "en"
folder into transifex. [2]
By this, the files get an "en-" prefix, and we don't know if it is normal.

I tried to pull translations in order to produce the html pages with
strange result:
- first, i get all the translation but, for each translation images are
duplicated, and it is a major issue, if we want to stay under 4GB (DVD
size).
- then, i wasn't able to pull any translation from transifex.

We suspect that our current folder structure does not fit well for
Transifex but we are not sure. By this, I mean with the conf.py [3] in the
main folder and not in the "en" folder.
We don't know where place the "_build" folder  either. If you can look at
the structure and give us some advice, we will be very grateful.


Best regards,

Nicolas
