Description: # BabelGladeExtractor
        
        This package contains message catalog extractors for the following
        formats, extending [Babel][babel] so it can handle them.
        
        * The new XML format used by [Glade][glade] 3.8 and above, properly
          known as the [GtkBuilder UI Definitions][uixml] format;
        
        * The older "GladeXML" format used by libglade and older versions of
          Glade;
        
        * The GNOME [AppData XML][appdataxml] dialect, because it's similar;
        
        * FreeDesktop.org [Desktop Entry][desktopfile] files.
        
        ## Getting started
        
        To make these formats translatable, install this package using pip:
        
        ```shell
        pip3 install BabelGladeExtractor
        ```
        
        Then in your own projects, map some source and data files to the simple
        extractor names "glade" and "desktop" that are provided by this package.
        In your `setup.py`, add a section like
        
        ```ini
        [extract_messages]
        mapping_file = babel.cfg
        output_file = subdir/myproject.pot
        input_dirs = .
        ```
        
        Next, create a separate `babel.cfg` file, and add sections to it for
        each format you want to translate.
        
        ```ini
        [glade: **.ui]
        
        [desktop: **.desktop]
        
        ```
        
        You can then use Babel's [setuptools integration][babelsetuptools] or
        its [command line interface][babelcli] for your routine i18n lifecycle
        tasks.
        
        ```shell
        python3 setup.py extract_messages
        ```
        
        There's a lot more to it than this, naturally. See Babel's extensive
        [Working with Message Catalogs][babelpo] documentation for a detailed
        explanation of how to get translatable strings into your Python code.
        
        In Glade 3.22, when you are editing a string property in a sidebar,
        click the edit icon on the right hand side of the text entry. In the
        dialog that pops up, enter the text in the main text box, and make sure
        that the Translatable checkbox is ticked. You can also add some helpful
        [context][pocontext] or comments for your translators if you need to
        give them a hint. BabelGladeExtractor will handle the corresponding XML
        attributes appropriately when it extracts strings for translation.
