Localization

An example of localizing the program for Finnish(fi_FI). Works similarly for any other language.

  1. Extract messages with:

python setup.py extract_messages

  1. For new languages initialize the .po file with:

python setup.py init_catalog -l fi_FI

For existing languages update the .po file with:

python setup.py update_catalog -l fi_FI

  1. Add any missing translations to the .po file at kvalikirstu2/locale/fi_FI/kvalikirstu2.po using any text editor

  2. Get localization json file for Datatables.net. The .json file should be placed in kvalikirstu2/locale/table_localization. Translate “English.json” to “Finnish.json” in kvalikirstu2/locale/fi_FI/kvalikirstu2.po to make the table localization in the index work.

  3. Compile the text based catalog with:

python setup.py compile_catalog -l fi_FI

The application should now automatically use the translations based on the user’s localization settings.
