Localization

gettext

Betty uses gettext to manage its translations:

• Betty will compile *.mo files internally. You will never have to do this manually

• Betty will manage *.pot and *.po files automatically if you use the *-translations commands

• You will have to add translations to *.po files yourself

Working on translatable strings

Run betty dev-update-translations to update the translations files with the changes you made.

Translating Betty

The Betty community uses Weblate to coordinate translations of its built-in translatable strings. To add or improve translations, create a Weblate account, navigate to the Betty translation you want to contribute to, and start translating.

Changes made in Weblate will be synchronized back to Betty in the form of pull requests once every 24 hours.
