[ckan-dev] Translating plugins & custom translations how-to

Tue Nov 19 15:44:08 UTC 2013

Hi Ian,

As far as I understood, whenever you run this "make-i18n" paster command,
it'll recompile all languages and put them on the i18n_folder. So, if
something changes on upstream, you can simply run it again, and it should
work.

I like this approach, even though it's still a bit hacky. Ideally, IMO,
every time CKAN starts, it would do this process by itself (looking into
plugins, checking which have i18n files, and merging them), so we wouldn't
need to have a new paster command. But it's a great improvement over what
we have.

Cheers,
