Personally I'd suggest to use Babel instead of zope.i18n. It's in more widespread use in the general Python community and a more full-featured solution. Once you want locale data like translated language, country names or the like, zope.i18n doesn't offer anything current or particular useful. > 6.

There's no domain header inside the file in gettext. The filename "myapp.po" is designating the domain. Using a custom domain header is an invention of some custom Zope2 (Plone) specific translation handling (it's only used in i18n-style folders for PlacelessTranslationService). Instead of linking to a file, I'd just include an example of the typical header here, like: msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: myapp\n" "POT-Creation-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n" "PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n" "Last-Translator: FULL NAME <em...@address>\n" "Language-Team: LANGUAGE <l...@li.org>\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" "Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;\n" The file you linked has a couple more Plone inventions in it, which aren't valid gettext headers and not used by anyone (not even zope.i18n). One more catch with zope.i18n is a pretty big deviation from the gettext standard if you use either zope.i18nmessageid or use explicit message ids like in: <p i18n:translate="title_foo">Foo</p> I'd suggest you don't use any of the two or your po files will have to use a non-standard format, which gives a lot of trouble with any tools working on those files. > 10.
