Usually it get the sources from _source_ dir and put compiled data into _build_ dir, right?\nSo I expected this structure:\n\n    |-- Makefile\n    |-- build\n        `-- locale\n            `-- ja\n                `-- LC_MESSAGES\n                    `-- index.mo\n    `-- source\n        |-- conf.py\n        |-- index.rst\n        `-- po\n           `-- ja.po\n\nand not mix source files and compiled files in the same dir.\n\nThen is there a reason for not doing so or am I too pedantic?\n\nFeel free to delete this report if judged trivial...\n\nTIA\n\n----------------------------------------\n- Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issue/1617\n- Originally reported by: Marco Ciampa\n- Originally created at: 2014-11-06T09:59:39.390\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sphinx-doc/testing2/issues/comments/68592209","html_url":"https://github.com/sphinx-doc/testing2/issues/1617#issuecomment-68592209","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sphinx-doc/testing2/issues/1617","id":68592209,"user":{"login":"shimizukawa","id":151623,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/151623?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa","html_url":"https://github.com/shimizukawa","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/shimizukawa/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-03T11:41:58Z","updated_at":"2015-01-03T11:41:58Z","body":"_From Robert Lehmann on 2014-11-06 09:41:19+00:00_\n\nThere is one easy reason why it is the way it is:  Simplicity.  All builders produce their output to `build/`, and so does the *gettext* builder.\n\nI, for one, would disagree with your tree structure and expect it the other way around:  `.pot` files are build products so they land in `build/`.  (They can be deleted without any loss.)  On the other hand, `.mo` files are *sources*(!) so they should go into `source/`, no?  (If you lose them, your translations are gone.)"}}
