===Internationalization===
We use gettext to internationalize activities. The basic steps are:
In your Python code:
from gettext import gettext as _
Hence forth, encapsulate strings that you want translated in _():
_('string to be translated')
Run <code>setup.py</code> to generate a POT file for your project. This file will contain a reference to all of the encapsulated strings.
From here, you need to:
# <code>git add</code>, <code>commit</code>, and <code>push</code> the POT file to git
# request that your project be added to the pootle server (by filing a task to the localization component on bugs.sugarlabs.org)
# add pootle as a committer to your project on gitorious
Once translations are committed to your project:
# do a <code>git pull</code> to get a local copy of the .po files
# run <code>setup.py fix_manifest</code> to create the .mo files used at run time
Details can be found on the [[Translation_Team/i18n_Best_Practices]].
