It wraps the standard gettext workflow (extraction, compilation, validation) and adds convenience commands for working with Transifex, a translation management platform. The tool reads configuration from a YAML file and operates on .po (Portable Object) translation files, generating .mo (Machine Object) compiled files and providing validation to catch translation errors before deployment.\n\nThe package is designed for development teams and translators working on Django-based projects that need to support multiple languages. It handles both Django projects (where config lives at `./conf/locale/config.yaml`) and Django apps (where config is at `./locale/config.yaml`), and can extract strings from Python, JavaScript, and JSX files. It depends on Django, lxml for XML parsing, polib for .po file manipulation, and pyYaml for configuration.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and solves a real problem for Django projects that need multi-language support. Install friction is low and dependencies are standard. It is most useful if you are already using Django and Transifex; if you manage translations differently, you may not need it."},"id":"edx-i18n-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/edx-i18n-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/edx-i18n-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/edx-i18n-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"edx-i18n-tools","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"edX Internationalization Tools"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79126,"position":14378,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
