Language switching

Making this application translatable

Wherever you add a new user visible string mark it for translation,

• In Python code user ugettext function — as described in the documentation
• In HTML templates user {% trans %} tag — as described in the documenation

Instructions for generating translation files linked here.

How to translate this application

1. Generate new translation files;

2. Notice which *po files changed;

3. Send them to translators;

   Any translation program that can handle gettext files, eg: https://poedit.net/.

4. Update any *po file.

How to add new languages

To add new language add it to the LANGUAGE setting in config/settings/common.py file.

And then generate new translation file. Start shell in the container ./dev.sh bash and then do following:

• cd /app
• ./manage.py makemessages --locale <locale code> — this will extract strings from all applications.
• cd www/templates
• ./manage.py makemessages --locale <locale code> — this will extract strings from templa

And then translate new files.
