Ah, right. I now do the following in buildout and that works:
[i18n-overwrites]
recipe = plone.recipe.command
command = python scripts/install-i18n-overwrites.py
update-command = python scripts/install-i18n-overwrites.py
For reference, I will paste the script below. Too hardcoded and only
works for one instance currently, but that suffices for me for now.
It simply copies any '.po' files in the scripts directory of buildout
to parts/instance/i18n.
=======================================================================
#!/usr/bin/python2.4
import os
import sys
import shutil
buildout_dir = os.getcwd()
path = os.path.split(buildout_dir)
# Make sure this script can be called both from within the buildout
# directory and from the script directory.
if path[1] == 'scripts':
buildout_dir = path[0]
instance_dir = os.path.join(buildout_dir, 'parts', 'instance')
if not os.path.exists(instance_dir):
print "ERROR: %s does not exist. Run bin/buildout again." % instance_dir
sys.exit(1)
if not os.path.isdir(instance_dir):
print "ERROR: %s is not a directory. Run bin/buildout again." % instance_dir
sys.exit(1)
i18n_dir = os.path.join(instance_dir, 'i18n')
if not os.path.exists(i18n_dir):
print "Creating directory %s" % i18n_dir
os.mkdir(i18n_dir)
if not os.path.isdir(i18n_dir):
print "ERROR: %s is not a directory. Run bin/buildout again." % i18n_dir
sys.exit(1)
po_dir = os.path.join(buildout_dir, 'scripts')
print "Copying po (translation) files from %s to %s" % (po_dir, i18n_dir)
for po_name in os.listdir(po_dir):
if po_name.endswith('.po'):
po_file = os.path.join(po_dir, po_name)
print "Copying %s" % po_file
shutil.copy(po_file, i18n_dir)
print "Done"
