<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I am working on a project written in Python, and I would like to use i18n functionality, but I am having some issues with it, more specifically regarding the .mo files location, and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(1) i18n mo files location</div><div><br></div><div>Basically, I already know how to translate contents with gettext, but I got stuck with the fact that it, by default, looks at /usr/share/locale/{language} (in Linux), but the setup.py install data_files into /usr/local/share/... unless I forcibly use absolute paths toward the location where the files should be.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(2) install_data.data_files</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I am having a problem to install the data_files, because the install_data command is never called. I made it work before, but I don't understand what I am missing that worked before and not now.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is the setup.py script:</div><div><a href="https://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver/blob/master/setup.py" target="_blank">https://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver/blob/master/setup.py</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>And this is the i18n module I am using as base for localizing all text in the application:</div><div><a href="https://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver/blob/master/termsaverlib/i18n.py" target="_blank">https://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver/blob/master/termsaverlib/i18n.py</a></div>
