"""
Helper script to update sampleproject's translation catalogs.

When a bug has been identified related to i18n, this helps capture the issue
by using catalogs created from management commands.

Example:

The string "Two %% Three %%%" renders differently using translate and
blocktranslate. This issue is difficult to debug, it could be a problem with
extraction, interpolation, or both.

How this script helps:
 * Add {% translate "Two %% Three %%%" %} and blocktranslate equivalent to
   templates.
 * Run this script.
 * Test extraction - verify the new msgid in sampleproject's django.po.
 * Add a translation to sampleproject's django.po.
 * Run this script.
 * Test interpolation - verify templatetag rendering, test each in a template
   that is rendered using an activated language from sampleproject's locale.
 * Tests should fail, issue captured.
 * Fix issue.
 * Run this script.
 * Tests all pass.
