I'm trying to wrap my head around the docs at python.org related to the
gettext-module, but I'm having some problem getting it to work. Is
there any really simple, step-by-step on how to use this module
available?
This is my script so far :
import gettext
gettext.install('test2', '.', unicode=1)
lang1 = gettext.translation('test2', languages=['no'])
print _('writing a log to file')
in the folder where the test2.py-script lives I've created a
folder-structure like
./locales/NO/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo
the messages.mo-file I've created using the scripts in the
\Tools\i18l\-folder by running :
python pygettext.py test2.py
and renaming the generated messages.pot-file to messages.po, and
editing it to look like :
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR ORGANIZATION
# FIRST AUTHOR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, YEAR.
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2005-11-22 13:02+W. Europe Standard Time\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: ENCODING\n"
"Generated-By: pygettext.py 1.5\n"
#: test2.py:5
msgid "writing a log to file"
msgstr "skriver logg til fil"
and then run python msgfmt.py messages.po and moving it to
./locales/NO/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo
When I run
python test2.py
it gives me this error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program

raise IOError(ENOENT, 'No translation file found for domain',
domain)
IOError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'test2'
Hmmm ... any hints?
