Translation Website Template

This is a trimmed-down version of the Sails website that can be used to host documentation in other languages.

You can read more about the various translation efforts here.

Pages included

Since the original website has a lot of hard-coded content which can quickly get out-of-date, this app mostly just includes the pages that are dynamically compiled from GitHub. Any pages from the original website that aren't included here are already set up to redirect to the applicable page on sailsjs.com.

The two pages not compiled from markdown that are still included in this app are:

Homepage
Get Started

Compiling the documentation from a translation repo

Compiling docs locally

First, in package.json, edit the "1.0" and "0.12" scripts so that sails_remote is set up to point to your translation repo.

sails_remote="git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr"

Lift your app

npm run 0.12

Then send an HTTP request to http://localhost:1337/refresh with the X-Hub-Signature header set to whatever

After a moment, you will see messages like the following showing up in the terminal:

Compiling `reference` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `anatomy` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `concepts` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `getting-started` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `support/irc` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `version-notes` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...
Compiling `security` docs from the `0.12` branch of `git://github.com/marrouchi/sails-docs-fr`...

Compiling docs automatically

Once your site is online, if you want to automatically compile the docs when there are changes to the translation repo, you can set up a webhook in GitHub. In your translation repo, go to Settings > Webhooks > Add Webhook, and configure the following settings:

Setting
Payload URL	http://YOUR-TRANSLATION-SITE.com/refresh
Content type	application/json
Secret	(Your super secret password)

Then, in your production app's config vars, set 'GITHUB_HOOK_SECRET' to be the super secret password you provided to GitHub.
