Activity authors

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

Translators

  • Refer to the Activities page to or directly to Fedora Translations to find out the translation page for a certain activity.
  • Once your translation is ready open a new Trac ticket, in the Localization component and attach your translation (as a .po file).
