Lie Ryan, thank you for your answer!
Why would you want to translate docstring? Docstring is meant for
developers not users.
I have mentioned that I want to provide API for existing image-
processing applicaion in Python.
In my case "developers" are "users".
Python provides great possibilities for documenting objects, I want to
use it for things such context help about API modules, classes,
methods, and want to do it in several languages.
There were some efforts in this direction in the past (like the -D option
of pygettext; and there was even a .po file for Python itself and the
standard library) but they seem to have been abandoned long time ago.
Yes, it will be better to avoid them, is it any existing tool/lib/
workaround that can do it?
The turtle module contains a *very* basic translation mechanism; see
turtle.write_docstringdict() and read_docstringdict(). They don't use
gettext.
I am follower of aproved, stable solutions, do not like to reinvent
the wheel.
I'm afraid this particular kind of wheel has not been invented yet.
You may find more interested people in the i18n SIG - but it does not
appear to have a lot of traffic lately:
