Documentation Translations

This directory stores Sphinx/gettext translation catalogs. English .rst files under docs/source/ remain the source of truth.

Directory Layout

• zh_CN/: Simplified Chinese translations.
• LC_MESSAGES/: Standard gettext catalog directory.
• .po: Reviewable translation files generated/updated by sphinx-intl.

Translation Flow

1. sphinx-build -b gettext extracts English strings into .pot templates (throwaway).
2. sphinx-intl update writes new strings as empty entries and changed strings as fuzzy in the committed .po files.
3. tools/translate_docs_zh.py calls the model to fill in the empty and fuzzy entries.
4. A PR is opened on automation/update-chinese-docs for human review.
5. After merge, build_doc.yml rebuilds the site at /zh_CN/.

Steps 1–4 run weekly in translate_doc_zh.yml (Monday 09:00 UTC, or manual dispatch). Step 5 runs automatically on push to dev.

To change the translation prompt, edit the system message in tools/translate_docs_zh.py.
