!gettext --- Multilingual internationalization services — Localizing your application

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you are localizing your application, you can install the !_ function globally into the built-in namespace, usually in the main driver file of your application. This will let all your application-specific files just use _('...') without having to explicitly install it in each file. In the simple case then, you need only add the following bit of code to the main driver file of your application import gettext gettext.install('myapplication') If you need to set the locale directory, you can pass it into the install function import gettext gettext.install('myapplication', '/usr/share/locale') Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
