Make the code translatable

  • Import the gettext module
from gettext import gettext as _
  • Mark strings as translatable using _('String')
self._forward.set_tooltip(_('Forward'))

Generate the POT file

  • 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

Add your module to Fedora Translations

  • Open a new Trac ticket, in the Localization component, specifying the source repository location.
