Extract fluent keys from python code and organize them in .ftl files

FTL-Extract

Description

FTL-Extract is a Python package that extracts Fluent keys from .py files and generates .ftl file with extracted keys.

---

🔥 Try fast-ftl-extract command.

It's Rust version of ftl extract command, that is 10-20 times faster than Python version.

---

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install FTL-Extract.

$ pip install FTL-Extract

Or use modern tool like UV to install FTL-Extract.

$ uv add --dev FTL-Extract

---

Usage

First of all, you should create locales directory in your project.

$ mkdir project_path/locales

Then, you can use the following command to extract keys from your code.

$ ftl extract project_path/code_path project_path/locales

By default, FTL-Extract will create a directory named en and put all keys into _default.ftl file.

In some cases, you may want to extract keys to specific .ftl files. So, there is new keyword argument _path in i18n.get and i18n.<key>.

# Before
i18n.get("key-1", arg1="value1", arg2="value2")

# After
i18n.get("key-1", arg1="value1", arg2="value2", _path="dir/ftl_file.ftl")

# Also
i18n.key_1(arg1="value1", arg2="value2", _path="dir/ftl_file.ftl")

# Or
i18n.some.key_1(arg1="value1", arg2="value2", _path="dir/ftl_file.ftl")

📚 Additional arguments

• -l or --language - add a new language to the project.
• -k or --i18n-keys - add additional i18n keys to the extractor.
• -K or --i18n-keys-append - add additional i18n keys to the extractor and append them to the default list.
• -p or --i18n-keys-prefix - add a prefix to the i18n keys. For example, self.i18n.<key>().
• -e or --exclude-dirs - exclude specific directories from the extraction process.
• -E or --exclude-dirs-append - add more directories to exclude from the extraction process.
• -i or --ignore-attributes - ignore specific attributes of the i18n.* like i18n.set_locale.
• -I or --append-ignore-attributes - add more attributes to ignore to the default list.
• --ignore-kwargs - ignore specific kwargs of the i18n_keys like when=... in aiogram_dialog.I18nFormat(..., when=...).
• --comment-junks - comments errored translations in the .ftl file.
• --default-ftl-file - specify the default .ftl file name.
• --comment-keys-mode - specify the comment keys mode. It will comment keys that are not used in the code or print warnings about them. Available modes: comment, warn.

• --dry-run - run the command without making any changes to the files.

• project_path/code_path - path to the directory where the stub.pyi will be located.

FAQ

❓ - How to add more languages to the project ?

# Here we add 3 languages: English, Ukrainian and Polish
$ ftl extract project_path/code_path project_path/locales -l en -l uk -l pl

❓ - How to detect another i18n keys like LazyProxy or L ?

# Here we extract ftl keys from i18n-keys like `LF`, `LazyProxy` and `L`
$ ftl extract project_path/code_path project_path/locales -K LF -K LazyProxy -K L
