infrae.i18nextract For Linux

infrae.i18nextract is a buildout recipe which create a script to extract i18n strings from multiple packages into a .pot. A script to merge or compile all available translations is also available.

The script support extraction from Python Script, Zope Page Template, Chameleon Page Template, Formulator forms and Silva Metadata schemas.

Exemple in buildout:

[silva-translation] recipe = infrae.i18nextract packages =  silva.core.views  silva.core.smi output = ${buildout:directory} output-package = silva.translations domain = silva extra-paths = ${zope2:location}/lib/python

packages  List of packages to extract translation from.

output  Output directory for the created template file.

output-package  If specified, you will be able to create the template file directly inside that package.

domain  Translation domain to use.

extra-paths  Extra python path to add in order to able to load the Python code to extract translations strings from it.

Two scripts are created:

part-name-extract

That do extract the translations. The option -p saves the created template file in the output-package specified in the buildout part.

part-name-manage

Manage translation files in the output-package specified in the buildout part:

* -m merge the translation template file into all existing translations files.  * -c compile all existing translations files.

The last script requires to have the commands msgfmt and msgmerge installed on the system (available in gettext).
