reStructuredText and glossary terms translation

Question

I'd like to know how can I translate (as in i18n) the terms in glossary. I use Sphinx 1.1.3

Let's say I have:

.. glossary::

   term
       definition

After I run make gettext I get the .po files but I can only translate the definitions, not the terms. I searched the documentation throughout but couldn't find any hints. If translation of terms is somehow possible, how can I automatically sort them alphabetically in target language?

Answer 1

It seems that this feature will be available in Sphinx 1.2

The question about sorting the translated glossary still remains. :sorted: does not work.
