Legal Tools Namespace

machine object files with a .mo file extensions (ex. django.mo)
portable object files with a .po file extensions (ex. django.po)
GNU gettext utilities: Files

Portable Object File Metadata

The portable object files use the following values for these standard metadata entries:

Project-Id-Version: Transifex resource slug
Language: Transifex Code

The portable object files use the following values for these custom metadata entries:

Language-Django: Language Code
Language-Transifex: Transifex Code

Jurisdiction Code

Jurisdiction Codes are legal jurisdiction identifiers used for Creative Commons legal tool ports (ex. licenses versions 1.0 - 3.0). They consist of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
