|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ :djadmin:`makemessages` doesn't understand the syntax of Jinja2 templates.
|
|
|
+ To extract strings from a project containing Jinja2 templates, use Babel_
|
|
|
+ instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Here's an example ``babel.cfg`` configuration file::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ # Extraction from Python source files
|
|
|
+ [python: **.py]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ # Extraction from Jinja2 templates
|
|
|
+ [jinja2: **.jinja]
|
|
|
+ extensions = jinja2.ext.with_
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Make sure you list all extensions you're using! Otherwise Babel won't
|
|
|
+ recognize the tags defined by these extensions and will ignore Jinja2
|
|
|
+ templates containing them entirely.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Babel provides similar features to :djadmin:`makemessages`, can replace it
|
|
|
+ in general, and doesn't depend on ``gettext``. For more information, read
|
|
|
+ its documentation about `working with message catalogs`_.
