Language translations

Extract all texts for translations

Scan folder structur for files which contains messages to translate Babel create a message.pot file. This file can be recompiled as often it's needed. Exclude this file from versioning

pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -o messages.pot .

Initialize language

For every language we need a translation file. Parameter -l indicates, which language file is created. It's an copy of message.pot and can be used for translations. Babel create a new translation folder and insert a message.po file.

pybabel init -i messages.pot -d app/translations -l de
