Django-Rosetta provides a web-based interface for managing translations within Django projects, simplifying the localization workflow for developers and translators. It integrates seamlessly with Django's existing translation infrastructure, allowing for efficient editing and management of .po and .mo files directly through the Django admin.

How It Works

Rosetta leverages Django's built-in internationalization (i18n) framework. It reads and writes gettext catalog files (.po and .mo), presenting them in a user-friendly interface that mirrors Django's admin styling. This approach avoids creating new database tables, making installation and uninstallation straightforward by simply modifying INSTALLED_APPS and urls.py.
