Development Notes
Here we connect notes and howtos for development around Terminator. Feel free to extend or submit suggestions.
Translation i18n
Tooling is based on Babel, the configuration is stored in babel.cfg, setup.cfg and
some code in setup.py.
The POT file 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.
