If you'd like to generate for a different language, use the following:

mkdir out# Italianodocker run --env LC="it" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# English (US)docker run --env LC="en-us" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# Españadocker run --env LC="es" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# Françaisdocker run --env LC="fr" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# Deutschdocker run --env LC="de" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# Português brasileirodocker run --env LC="pt" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# 中文docker run --env LC="ch" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook# Русскийdocker run --env LC="ru" --volume`pwd`/out:/src/out captn3m0/ickabog-ebook

./generate.sh

For generating ebooks for a different language, run the script with a LC parameter

LC=it ./generate.sh

Various values for LC are:it, en-us, es, fr, de, pt, ch, ru. If you don't pass a value, the default (en-GB) is used.

You should haveickabog.epub, andickabog.pdf in theout directory after the script finishes.

• If you haveConTeXt installed, you will also get aout/ickabog-large.pdf file with large fonts to be kid-friendly.
• If you haveqpdf installed, the PDF files will have cover pages
• If you havecalibre orkindlegen installed, aout/ickabog.mobi file will also be generated. Preference is given tokindlegen.

The PDF is optimized for few pages of printing, so has a small font size by default. If you'd like a kid-friendly version,install context to getickabog-large.pdf file.ConTeXt comes preinstalled in the Docker image, so that's the easiest way to get the same.
