Every single bit of text that has to be translated should be wrapped in the function gettext(), or the shorter version _().
-
To extract the text to be translated, run
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _l -o messages.pot .in the root directory. This will generate amessages.pottemplate file, which contains all bits of text that should be translated. -
To generate a language catalog, run
pybabel init -i messages.pot -d src/translations -l <lang>, where<lang>is either 'en', 'fr' or 'nl'. This will create a directorytranslationsinsrc(if it doesn't exist yet), and generate a new catalog with amessages.pofile, where you can manually translate text. -
To compile the
messages.pofile(s), runpybabel compile -d src/translations, which will create amessages.mofile permessages.pofile that wasn't compiled yet. -
If you added text to translate (by adding
_()'s) without overwriting what you've already translated, runpybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _l -o messages.pot .orpybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k lazy_gettext -o messages.pot .to update the template file, then runpybabel update -i messages.pot -d src/translationsto update themessages.pofile(s). This last command will merge the already existing file with the newly generated one.
