Python gettext - not translation

Example python program: [CGI script, so it needs to choose its own language, and not use what is installed for the host OS]

import gettext gettext.install('test', "./locale") _ = gettext.gettext t = gettext.translation('test', "./locale", languages=['fr']) t.install() print _("Hello world")

./locale/fr/LC_messages/test.mo contains the translation (as a binary file generated when msgfmt was run in the .po file).

The program prints "Hello world" instead of the translated version. What could be the problem?

Perhaps this answer is WAY too late, but I just found this, and I think it can help you.

 import gettext t = gettext.translation('test', "./locale", languages=['fr']) _ = t.gettext print _("Hello world")

In my own program, I did it as follows:

 import gettext DIR = "lang" APP = "ToolName" gettext.textdomain(APP) gettext.bindtextdomain(APP, DIR) #gettext.bind_textdomain_codeset("default", 'UTF-8') # Not necessary locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") LANG = "FR_fr" lang = gettext.translation(APP, DIR, languages=[LANG], fallback = True) _ = lang.gettext

Note

My program has a lang directory. For each language, a directory is created in lang: * XX_xx * ( en_US ) Inside the en_US directory there is LC_MESSAGES , and inside there is TOOLNAME.mo

But this is my way of cross-language.
