Internationalization Framework¶
Basic Usage¶
from discord.ext import commands
from redbot.core.i18n import CogI18n
_ = CogI18n("ExampleCog", __file__)
class ExampleCog:
"""description"""
@commands.command()
async def mycom(self, ctx):
"""command description"""
await ctx.send(_("This is a test command"))
Tutorial¶
After making your cog, generate a messages.pot
file
The process of generating this will depend on the operating system you are using
In a command prompt in your cog’s package (where yourcog.py is), create a directory called “locales”. Then do one of the following:
Windows: python <your python install path>\Tools\i18n\pygettext.py -n -p locales
Mac: ?
Linux: pygettext3 -n -p locales
This will generate a messages.pot file with strings to be translated
