🌍Call for translators in GeoVista official document🌍

[tkoyama010]

If you've ever wanted to contribute and help the cause of open source, now is your chance. We need you!

GeoVista official documentation translations is a project to provide GeoVista official documentation, hosted on
the Read The Docs platform, in multiple languages.

Note

This is following PEP 545 – Python Documentation Translations

Note

The current procedure is bit tricky because Read The Docs doesn't have a way to specify options for sphinx-build command. conf.py files for each languages have language and locale_dirs values without having full copy of conf.py of GeoVista doc. If we want to specify conf.py file that is out of source directory, we will use -c option for the sphinx-build command. Unfortunately Read the Docs doesn't support that. If there is a better way, open an issue.

How the translated documentation projects are setup on RTD

Instructions:
https://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/localization.html#project-with-multiple-translations

Key points:

• There is a RTD project for each language.
• Each project needs the correct Language setting on the
  Settings page.
• The parent project needs connections created to each translated
  project on the Translations Settings page.

Caution

The author of this proposal agrees with "Flags are not languages", so no flag emoji will be used.
