Howto set up language files
Inspired by https://phrase.com/blog/posts/i18n-advantages-babel-python/#Integration_with_Jinja2_templates
Add translate statements to jinja2 templates
<title>{% trans %}Page title{% endtrans %}</title>
To parse the jinja templates to extract the messages, first
create a file named babel-mapping.ini:
[python: **.py]
[jinja2: **/templates/**.html]
extensions=jinja2.ext.i18n,jinja2.ext.autoescape,jinja2.ext.with_
Then extract the base messages from templates:
pybabel extract -F babel-mapping.ini -o locale/messages.pot ./
This file is not persisted on github.
Now setup a new language (french) using the init command:
pybabel init -d locale -l fr -i locale/messages.pot
Or update an existing language using:
pybabel update -d locale -l fr -i locale/messages.pot
Run compile command to generate MO files:
pybabel compile -d locale -l fr
