The Internationalisation of the Mu #Python Editor

Mu is our favorite Python editor and it recently has gained internationalization support. Coders know this is no small task and it is very interesting how @ntoll and the Mu team have gone about it.

Mu uses Python’s standard gettext based internationalization API so we can make use of standard tools to help translators, such as poedit.

As part of the process, there is a “rough cut” of the translations by running them through the Google Translator Toolkit which allows for glossaries and organizing translations rather than the cut & paste of the standard Google Translate.

Read through the mu blog post on the automated process and how you can contribute to multi language support in Mu.
