Translate¶

Pharmaship uses pure gettext and Django’s system for translation.

All .pot, .po and .mo file generation is handled in a Makefile.

The following commands must be executed in the same Python environment of Pharmaship (especially if you are using a virtual environment).

Create translatable file list for gettext:
```
make translatable
```

This will create a file named translatable_filelist at the project’s root.

Generate the .pot files for GUI using gettext:
```
make pot
```
Generate the .po files for the Django project and merge them with previously created .pot files:
```
make messages
```
Edit the .po files in your preferred editor.
Generate the .mo files:
```
make mo
```
