In my shell the translation workflow now looks like this:</p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F49xil4m5i7h2fv6xfs0p.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F49xil4m5i7h2fv6xfs0p.gif" alt="Image description" width="640" height="356"></a></p> <p>The command <code>pofile populate</code> locates the PO files in the current project and translates them using <a href="https://pofile.io" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://pofile.io</a> as backend. I check the translations using a simple "git diff".</p> <p>The command is made available by installing <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pofile-cli/" rel="noopener noreferrer">pofile-cli</a> (<code>pip install pofile-cli</code>).<br> The API key can be obtained for free at <a href="https://pofile.io" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://pofile.io</a></p> <p>I'd be keen to get feedback on the CLI tool, so feel free get in touch if you find it useful.</p> django localization webdev shell
