I love the Qt library, surely some Django developers love it too, which could explain why the "events" are called "signals". Sadly they follow the convention of naming the xgettext methods with an underscore '_'. It feels weird to me call any variable or method like that so, I've made this command which will add the tr keyword to the xgettext options. It will detect all the strings that detect the default makemessages as well as strings translated with the tr keyword.

Example:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as tr

def hello_view(request):
	return str(tr('Hello'))

Just copy the management folder to any of your apps or just copy the management/commands/gettr.py to an existent management package

it's the same as the default makemessages but using gettr instead.

Example:

python manage.py gettr --locale=es
