To quickly build the English docs:
make html_eng
A build of the documentation (defaulting to English and French):
mvn package
The latest Maven profile updates the translations from Transifex (this will take some time).
mvn generate-resources -Platest
These can be used together:
mvn package -Platest
To use all languages:
mvn package -Platest -Pall
A subset of languages (for example: English, French and Spanish):
mvn package -Platest -Dlangs='"en" "fr" "es"' -Dtranslations='en,fr,es'
The Maven build above makes use of the Transifex command line client tx:
Prior to use you will need to generate and API key:
If you have never used tx before you will need to run it once interactively to install the API key:
tx pull --language='fr'
[?] Enter your api token:
Another option is to generate manually the file ~/.transifexrc including your API token:
[https://www.transifex.com]
api_hostname = https://api.transifex.com
hostname = https://www.transifex.com
password = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
username = api
