   [javascript: **.js] ! [extractors] python = babel.messages.extract:extract_python jinja2 = jinja2.ext:babel_extract javascript = babel.messages.extract:extract_javascript ! ! basics

6. # Run extraction $ pybabel extract --mapping-file babel.cfg --output out.po

   <source_dir> ! ! ! ! ! basics

11. ! def greeting(name, is_welcome): if is_welcome: return _("Hey there!") else:

    return _("Bye Bye") ! ! ! strings before logic

    ! ! def greeting(name, is_welcome): if is_welcome: return Greetings.WELCOME_MESSAGE else: return Greetings.BYE_MESSAGE strings before logic

13. ! class Greetings(object): WELCOME_MESSAGE = _("Hey there!”) BYE_MESSAGE = _("Bye!")

18. babel gotchas #: app/views.py:20 #, python-format #, fuzzy msgid "Translate

19. babel gotchas “strings might be marked as fuzzy — if

    you have fuzzy entries, make sure to check them by hand and remove the fuzzy flag before compiling.”
