Translations¶
Betty is fully multilingual (internationalized), and can be localized to different locales, which includes translations of the built-in US English messages to any language of your choice.

View the available translations on Weblate.
Each time a message is translated, Betty finds the translation as follows:
If the project has a translation in its asset directory, use it
If an extension has a translation in its asset directory, use it
If a built-in translation exists, use it
If no translation exists, use the original US English message

Project translations¶
Adding a new translation¶
Run betty new-translation $locale where $locale is an
IETF BCP 47 language tag.
This will create ./locale/$locale/betty.po, which you can then edit yourself.
Updating existing translations after changing translatable messages¶
If you’ve made changes to the translatable messages in your project, run
betty update-translations to update betty.pot and any betty.po
files for existing translations. You can then edit the updated betty.po
files yourself.
