Hello,
I am trying to internationalize a script. First I have tried with a
little script to understand how it works, but unfortunately, it doesn't.
I have followed instruction in this page:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/i18n.html
I have created my script, marked strings with the _() function,
installed it in the main namespace, but when I try to load the locale
file it said methat locale is unavailable:
IOError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'helloi18n'
C:\dropbox\Public\helloi18n>
I have created the pot file with pygettext, localized it with poedit and
compiled the related .mo file.
As reported in this page:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/gettext.html
«Bind the domain to the locale directory localedir. More concretely,
gettext will look for binary .mo files for the given domain using the
path (on Unix): localedir/language/LC_MESSAGES/domain.mo, where
languages is searched for in the environment variables LANGUAGE, LC_ALL,
LC_MESSAGES, and LANG respectively.»
I have put my .mo file in locale\it\LC_MESSAGES naming it helloi18n.mo
here are all my files:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4400966/helloi18n.tar.gz
This is the code of the helloi18n.py file:
# Simple script to use internationalization (i18n)
import gettext
import os
LOCALE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'), 'locale')
print LOCALE_DIR
print "---"
a=gettext.find('helloi18n', LOCALE_DIR, 'it')
print a
gettext.install('helloi18n', localedir=LOCALE_DIR, unicode=1)
gettext.textdomain ('helloi18n')
gettext.translation('helloi18n', LOCALE_DIR, 'it')
if __name__ == '__main__':
print _('Hello world!')
print (_('My first localized python script'))
Somebody could help me?
Sandro
