Dev installation

git clone openownership-cove-bods
cd openownership-cove-bods
virtualenv .ve --python=/usr/bin/python3
source .ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
python migrate
python compilemessages
python runserver

You may need to pass to runserver in the last step, depending on your development environment.

Note: requires gettext to be installed. This should come by default with Ubuntu, but just in case:

apt-get update && apt-get install gettext


We use Django's translation framework to provide this application in different languages. We have used Google Translate to perform initial translations from English, but expect those translations to be worked on by humans over time.

Translations for Translators

Translators can provide translations for this application by becomming a collaborator on Transifex

Translations for Developers

For more information about Django's translation framework, see

If you add new text to the interface, ensure to wrap it in the relevant gettext blocks/functions.

In order to generate messages and post them on Transifex:

First check the Transifex lock <>, because only one branch can be translated on Transifex at a time.


python makemessages -l en
tx push -s

In order to fetch messages from transifex:

tx pull -a

In order to compile them:

python compilemessages

Keep the makemessages and pull messages steps in thier own commits seperate from the text changes.

To check that all new text is written so that it is able to be translated you could install and run django-template-i18n-lint

pip install django-template-i18n-lint
django-template-i18n-lint cove
You can’t perform that action at this time.
