infrae.i18nextract

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

Options

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.

Scripts

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).

What is new in this release:

• Add support to extract the title and description fields from the Silva Metadata files.

What is new in version 1.3:

• Add two options --export-tarball to create an archive that can be used to upload translations to Launchpad, and --import-tarball that can be used to import a tarball from Lanchpad.
• Add zope-products options to enable extraction in code that uses old Zope products.

What is new in version 1.2.1:

• .xml files are not always Silva Metadata. Don't fail if they can't be parsed as such.

What is new in version 1.2:

• Rename the merge script into manage. Add an option to compile translation files.
• Fix logging output that was wrong when the translation contained dots.

Requirements:

• Python
