A little i18n cookbook

• Build a pot file
  

  ~/projects/piraten/opinion/bin/i18ndude rebuild-pot --pot locales/Products.opinions.pot --create Products.opinions .

• Copy the files to
  

  locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/Products.opinions.po

  files
• Get them translated, using poedit, which when saving will create .mo files
• Activate the translations in the products configure.zcml file
  

  <configure
      xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
      xmlns:five="http://namespaces.zope.org/five"
      xmlns:genericsetup="http://namespaces.zope.org/genericsetup"
      i18n_domain="Products.opinions"
      xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.zope.org/i18n"
      >
      <i18n:registerTranslations directory="locales"/>
  ...

• Merge in new translations by a) rebuilding the pot file, and b)
  

   ~/projects/piraten/opinion/bin/i18ndude sync --pot locales/Products.opinions.pot locales/*/LC_MESSAGES.Products.opinions.po
