Ok, you should use xgettext to create a .po file from your test1.py. Translate that file and use msgfmt to compile it into a .mo file. Copy this .mo file to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ > Here's my test1.py file again : > > =========================== > import gettext, os, locale > > locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL) > gettext.install('test1.py', '/usr/share/locale') test1.py is wrong, you must give the name of the .mo file. It must be: gettext.install('test1.mo', '/usr/share/locale') Assuming you have called the mo file like that.
