These instructions applies to a python activity using the base activity classes and the bundlebuilder. For more background information about Localization please see the [[Localization]] page.

== Make the code translatable ==

* Import the gettext module

from gettext import gettext as _

* Mark strings as translatable using <tt>_('String')</tt>

self._forward.set_tooltip('''_('Forward')''')

=== Generate the POT file for translators ===

* You will need to generate it and push it in the repository every time you add strings. (XXX how do we automatize it)

./setup.py dist
./setup.py genpot

== Get your strings localized ==

{{cleanup}}

* Open a new [http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20Localization&component=l10n-requests bug] on the Red Hat bugzilla. You will need to include the following information (with examples):
** Release set OLPC
** Module name (''Write'')
** Maintainer Name + Email (''Foo Bar / foo@foo.com'')
** Maintainer URL (''http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristopherBlizzard'')
** URL to your repository (i.e. ''http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=sugar;a=summary'')

Once that's done the people who [[Translators|care about localization]] can get the <tt>.pot</tt> files to translate and can contribute them back.

== [[Translators]] ==

See [[Sugar i18n]] for the instructions on how to hook into the process.
