Translating quickly application

Question

I created an application using quickly create ubuntu-application myapp. Then I created translations and created deb package quickly package to install and test it. When I run myapp all strings from glade files were translated but all strings from code were not translated. What's this? How to solve this problem ?

I've solved this. I must use locale.gettext instead of gettext. I don't know what the difference is, but it works.

In your code, you need to mark all your strings for translation by enclosing them in _(). E.g.:

import gettext
from gettext import gettext as _
gettext.textdomain('yourappname')

some_string = 'This is not a translatable string'
some_other_string = _('This is a translatable string')

Notice the gettext statements above, which Quickly puts in each source file. You'll need to add them to any source file that contains translatable strings.

Yes I add it but it's no result – Denis Kovalskiy Jul 13 '12 at 09:11
In that case, please be more detailed in your question. It might be useful to post the code online to I or someone else can have a look at it and better be able to help rather than guessing.
