I18n example

Internalize your bot Step 1: extract texts # pybabel extract i18n_example.py -o locales/mybot.pot Step 2: create *.po files. For e.g. create en, ru, uk locales. # echo {en,ru,uk} | xargs -n1 pybabel init -i locales/mybot.pot -d locales -D mybot -l Step 3: translate texts Step 4: compile translations # pybabel compile -d locales -D mybot Step 5: When you change the code of your bot you need to update po & mo files. Step 5.1: regenerate pot file: command from step 1 Step 5.2: update po files # pybabel update -d locales -D mybot -i locales/mybot.pot Step 5.3: update your translations Step 5.4: compile mo files command from step 4

Step 4: compile translations
    # pybabel compile -d locales -D mybot

Step 5: When you change the code of your bot you need to update po & mo files.
    Step 5.1: regenerate pot file:
        command from step 1
    Step 5.2: update po files
        # pybabel update -d locales -D mybot -i locales/mybot.pot
    Step 5.3: update your translations
    Step 5.4: compile mo files
        command from step 4
