Description
Hello,
Reading the "Trac Installation Guide for 0.12dev" to localise my trac installation I had to execute the following tasks to have a trac site in french (running on Debian Etch) :
install gettext package and :
$cd /usr/lib/ … /trac/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES
$msgfmt -o messages.mo messages.po

In fact I did that operation :
$python setup.py compile_catalog
but it did not generat any .mo file although it did not give any error :

But no .mo file… am I doing something wrong ?

Replying to anonymous:
In fact I did that operation :
$python setup.py compile_catalogbut it did not generat any .mo file although it did not give any error :
running compile_catalog ... compiling catalog 'trac/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po' to 'trac/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo' ...
But no .mo file…
Are you sure? no 'trac/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo'?
For the ones that read "skipping…" you would indeed need an extra -f flag, to force the compilation despite of fuzzy translations, but I'm surprised it didn't produce at least those which were not marked as skipped…
And what happens when you do python setup.py compile_catalog -l fr_FR?

Sorry… in fact it did generate the .mo file, I just wasn't looking in the good directory.
The .mo file is generated in the <source directory>/trac/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES… That was not clear in the documentation : should the "setup.py install" then be run again ?

Closing as duplicate of #6387.
Good check for binary compatibility of the .mo files ;-)
Normally we build them with Babel, by going in Trac's toplevel source dir, doing a
python setup.py compile_catalogeventually together with the-l fr_FRif you only want to compile the french messages. This is all explained in the wiki:TracL10N page.It's good to know that one can indeed do this with the regular GNU
msgfmttool. Anyway we already have a ticket to remind us we need to improve the documentation on this topic, so I'm closing this one in favor of #6387.
