First, re-generate the pot file:
pybabel -v extract -F locale/babel.config -o locale/core.pot src/web
Then, for every language, do (in the example, I'm doing it for 'es'):
0. First time for the language, go to step 1; else go to step 2
1. Just copy the .pot file, make a dir you'll need, and then go to step 3
cd locale
cp core.pot es.po
mkdir es/LC_MESSAGES/
2. Merge new strings with previous file
cd locale
msgmerge es.po core.pot > /tmp/temp_po
mv /tmp/temp_po es.po
3. Get your favourite text editor and fill translations
vim es.po
4. Compile the just filled .po to the correct lang place; again, as an
example for 'es':
msgfmt es.po --output-file=es/LC_MESSAGES/core.mo
Use the utilities/localize.py
script that uses the Babel python package.
E.g. for adding/updating translations for spanish language:
0. Run `python localize.py es` to add/update messages
1. Fill missing translations in `es.po` file
2. Run `python localize.py es` again (if `es.po` changed)
