15 After translation, `make translations` has to be called to generate the `translations.json`, that is being done automatically via yarn serve/build. |

24 ### Some rules to marking strings for translations |

26 - `gettext` must be called only in javascript part. For html part we use `<translate>` and `<v-translate>` to make sure that `makemessages` marks the strings correctly |

Bernhard Reiter <bernhard@intevation.de>

|
27 - passing a value with \`\` to `gettext` leads to break up the translation process (e.g. gettext(\` text to translate ${value} \`)) |

28 - passing html element (e.g. `<div>`) to gettext is interpreted as string. |

29 - The strings to translate have to be included in the source code and not directly in `.po` files. |

30 - Use the central defined class `<span class="fix-trans-space"> text<span>` to fix leading and trailing whitespace problem.see:[https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/issues/80](https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/issues/80). |

54 * No other framework supports our preferred translation cycle fully |

55 * The original string can be seen in the source code at the right place. |

56 * Relies in parts on well known utilities (xgettext) |

64 - [xgettext fails with some .vue files](https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/issues/28) which forces us to use `(`, `)` around templates |

65 - [translations in attributes](https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/issues/9) which leaves us with either interpolating in templates with `<translate></translate>` or use computed properties in Vue components (cf. Login component). |

66 - [inconsistent white space handling](https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/issues/80) if you need a white space preserved before the translated tag, use `<span v-translate class="fix-trans-space">to be translated</a>` (see `src/assets/application.sass`). |

68 - Is dependent on external (=non JS) tools (`xgettext`) which are not able to consume `.vue`-files directly, which in turn leads to unexpected behaviour. |
