Compiling gettext catalogs

The cc.gettext:msgfmt recipe can be used to compile gettext catalogs from the .po source format to the binary .mo representation needed by Zope 3. It supports two options:

po_path

A file path (relative to the buildout base or absolute) which is scanned recursively for .po files. All .po files found are processed by the recipe.

mo_path

The base file path (relative to the buildout base or absolute) where compiled .mo files are written. Compiled files are named using the pattern <mo_path>/<locale>/LC_MESSAGES/<domain>.mo

If the specified path does not exist, the recipe will attempt to create it.
