Extra gettext keywords handling in Django
Project description
© 2014 Thomas Khyn
About
The django makemessage management command parses the code of an application to generate .pot and .po files, provided the strings to be translated are called by the gettext-like functions (gettext, ugettext, ngettext, ugettext_lazy, etc.) or the _ alias.
However, it is quite common to use other aliases than _, for example for lazy translation, where _l can be used.
Django does not provide a way to specify other aliases that may be used for translation strings. This plugin fills this gap, without having to patch the django code itself.
Usage
Simply add 'extra_keywords' to your INSTALLED_APPS after having installed the package with the method of your choice. Note that it does not make any sense to have this application installed in production.
Once it is installed, you may for example run:
manage.py makemessages [...] --extra-keywords=_l [...]
so that _l('to translate') is recognised and ‘to translate’ is added to the locale dictionnary.
