None
most common tools are gettext and babel ! import gettext
as _ print _("Translate me.") ! from babel import dates, numbers dates.format_datetime(date, locale='de') numbers.format_decimal(1.234, locale='de') ! ! basics
! # Extraction config file (babel.cfg) [python: **.py] [jinja2: **.html]
[javascript: **.js] ! [extractors] python = babel.messages.extract:extract_python jinja2 = jinja2.ext:babel_extract javascript = babel.messages.extract:extract_javascript ! ! basics
# Run extraction $ pybabel extract --mapping-file babel.cfg --output out.po
<source_dir> ! ! ! ! ! basics
! # Translations for MYAPP. # Copyright (c) 2014 ORGANIZATION
! #: app/views.py:20 #, python-format msgid "Translate me." msgstr "" ! ! basics

what could possibly go wrong?

babel gotchas #: app/views.py:20 #, python-format #, fuzzy msgid "Translate
them." msgstr "Traduisez-moi"
babel gotchas “strings might be marked as fuzzy — if
you have fuzzy entries, make sure to check them by hand and remove the fuzzy flag before compiling.”
