## Translation i18n
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tooling is based on [Babel](https://babel.pocoo.org), the configuration is stored in `babel.cfg`, `setup.cfg` and
|
||
|
|
some code in `setup.py`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The POT file [po/terminator.pot](po/terminator.pot) contains the template for all translations and should be updated
|
||
|
|
regularly, especially when messages changed inside the source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ python setup.py extract_messages
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usually catalogs are updated with external translation tools, e.g. when new translations are merged. But we can update
|
||
|
|
the catalogs here, so translators will have it more easy to pick up their work.
|
||
|
|
This is a custom extension in `setup.py`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ python setup.py update_catalogs
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compilation of catalogs into the binary form, from `*.po` to `*.mo` is done during `setup.py build`, and the files are
|
||
|
|
installed during `setup.py install`.
