[Grok-dev] Internationalisation, is the howto current?

[Vincent Fretin]

I don't know very well how to use zope.i18n.translate.
Try something like that as said in the howto:
from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageFactory
MyDomainMessageFactory = MessageFactory('MyDomain')
_ = MyDomainMessageFactory
print _(u'my_msgid')

You should have locales/en/LC_MESSAGES/MyDomain.po with
msgid "my_msgid"
msgstr "something"
