Hi All, Thank you Adam for your help. I tried specifying the extension to "htm" and it did work in collecting the text in the homepage (*index.htm*). To collect the rest of the text I had to copy the templates from inside arches library to the project and then run makemessages again. I will try to test the process a few times and then draft a guide for it for the documentation.
Thank you again, Best, Mahmoud On Sunday, August 9, 2020 at 6:13:06 PM UTC+2 Mahmoud Abdelrazek wrote: > Hi All, > > I am trying to enable a language switcher for an arches implementation.
