Buildout recipe to extract and manage po files

tranchitella.recipe.i18n

This buildout recipe creates i18n tools to extract and manage po files. More specifically, i18n messages can occur in Python code, in Chameleon (ZPT) page templates and in ZCML declarations.

Scripts

This recipe provides the following scripts:

i18nextract:

extract the i18n messages from the Python code, the Chameleon (ZPT) page templates and the ZCML configuration files;

i18nmerge:

requires the GNU gettext package to be installed; the command ‘msgmerge’ will be executed for each language;

i18nstatus:

prints a simple statistics with the status of the translations.

Usage

Add to your buildout configuration file the following snippet:

[i18n]
recipe = tranchitella.recipe.i18n
package = PACKAGE
zcml = PACKAGE:configure.zcml
output = locales
domain = DOMAIN
verify_domain = true
exclude =
    tests.py
    ftests.py

Replace PACKAGE with your Python package name and DOMAIN with your i18n domain; the zcml setting is optional.
