Adding Additional Languages
Flicket now supports additional languages through the use of Flask Babel. To add an additional local:
Edit SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES in config.py and add an additional entry to the dictionary. For example: {‘en’: ‘English’, ‘fr’: ‘Francais’, ‘de’: ‘German’}
Whilst in the project root directory you now need to initialise the new language to generate a template file for it.
pybabel init -i messages.pot -d application/translations -l de
In the folder application/translations there should now be a new folder de.
Edit the file messages.po in that folder. For example:
msgid "403 Error - Forbidden"
msgstr "403 Error - Verboten"
Compile the translations for use:
pybabel compile -d application/translations
If any python or html text strings have been newly tagged for translation run:
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -o messages.pot .
To get the new translations added to the .po files:
pybabel update -i messages.pot -d application/translations
