I could generate the html-es after modifying several translation, so with current Spanish translations on Launchpad no longer FTBFS.
However there is a real problem on how Sphinx handles the translation. The problem arise whenever a segment to be translated starts or with a link and the translated version adds some text before or after the starting/ending link, respectively. For example: - if "`Link`_ English text" is translated into "Spanish text `Link`_ more text" it breaks Sphinx. - if "English text `Link`_ " is translated into "Spanish text `Link`_ more text" it breaks Sphinx. This should be accepted by the tool, as those are perfectly normal situations (in fact, my modified translation to avoid the problem sounds less natural to me than original ones) The reason for that problem is that the original text and the translated patch are expected to have the same number of parts, as the following debug session shows: 227 228 # copy text children 229 for i, child in enumerate(patch.children): 230 if isinstance(child, nodes.Text): 231 child.parent = node 232 -> node.children[i] = child 233 234 235 class SphinxStandaloneReader(standalone.Reader): 236 """ 237 Add our own transforms. p i 3 p patch.children [<#text: 'La p\xe1gina '>, <reference: <#text: 'The new accoun ...'>>, <target "the new account help page": >, <#text: ' en Launchpad contiene m\xe1s informaci\xf3n sobre el proceso y par\xe1me ...'>] p node.children [<#text: 'La p\xe1gina '>, <target "the new account help page": >, <#text: '\non Launchpad has more information about the process and additio ...'>] So there are 4 parts in the patch but only 3 in the original text, which lead to the above problem. For that example I had to modify the translation in the following way: Original text: `The new account help page <https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount>`_ on Launchpad has more information about the process and additional settings you can change. Intended translation: La página `The new account help page <https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount>`_ en Launchpad contiene más información sobre el proceso y parámetros adicionales que puede cambiar. Modified translation: `The new account help page <https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount>`_ en Launchpad contiene más información sobre el proceso y parámetros adicionales que puede cambiar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Packaging Guide Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Packaging Guide. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068493 Title: Spanish translation FTBFS Status in Sphinx: New Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide: Triaged Status in “sphinx” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: To reproduce the issue, first do the following: - ./debian/scripts/add-languages - bzr unknowns | xargs bzr add - bzr bd You should get the following sphinx crash at the end: Exception occurred: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sphinx/builders/html.py", line 419, in write_doc self.docwriter.write(doctree, destination) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/writers/__init__.py", line 77, in write self.translate() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sphinx/writers/html.py", line 38, in translate self.document.walkabout(visitor) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 173, in walkabout if child.walkabout(visitor): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 165, in walkabout visitor.dispatch_visit(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 1604, in dispatch_visit return method(node) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/writers/html4css1/__init__.py", line 957, in visit_footnote_reference href = '#' + node['refid'] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docutils/nodes.py", line 534, in __getitem__ return self.attributes[key] KeyError: 'refid' I was able to track down a number of issues in the Spanish translation.
