+New Pages and Internationalisation
+----------------------------------
+Translation works using `sphinx-intl`. It creates .po files where English phrases can be converted to other languages.
+
+To add a page and create the .po file for translation:
+
+1. Set up the virtualenv as described above. Activate it and install the requirements.
+2. Create a new file for the page such as `admin/file.rst`.
+3. Edit it and make it correct in English (`make html`).
+4. Open terminal to `/docs` and run `make gettext`. This creates files under `_build/locale`
+5. Run `sphinx-intl update -p _build/locale/ -l es` to refresh the .po files
+6. Edit .po files under `locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/...`
+7. Run `make translations` to generate the Spanish version
+8. Commit changes.
