Website manual glaxnimate in Dutch

[Julius Künzel]

Hi!

The problem for Sphinx websites is that we need to enable every language individually (ie. there is no switch to enable all at once).

Also there are two issues I see with enabling languages if they are not translated (yet):
- usability: it pretends the language is available and users are confused
- technically (this is the main reason I disabled everything): Sphinx unfortunately has a very very bad performance when it comes to building the site with translations. I made some tests together with sysadmins when we migrated from Jenkins to GitLab and under some circumstances one language can take up to 20-30 minutes to build! Hence we should only enable languages that are worth it ie. that have a translation coverage of more than just 2 or 3 percent.

This means if you translate a Sphinx website you should check if your language is enabled and otherwise enable it or ask the maintainer to do so.

I hope this makes sense to you and answers your question well!

Cheers,
Julius
