How to update the literals (the bot's messages)?

The project uses POEditor to manage locales. Here is the Project's page in POEditor.

To update the locales after you add/change literals in Python files:

• Extract the identifiers/terms using

  pybabel extract --input-dirs . --output ./locales/messages.pot

• Import the identifiers/terms into POEditor.
• Translate the identifiers/terms into the desired languages.
• Update the locales/translations (see below).

To update locales/translations:

• Go to the project page.
• [Optional] Make the changes in the project.
• Select the language you want to export.
• Export the .mo file and save it as ./locales/$YOUR_LANGUAGE/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po file.
• Compile the locales using

  pybabel compile --directory ./locales

NB: More info on how to use locales can be found in the aiogram's documentation.
