   • Run the following command, replacing [lang] with the two-letter language code:

     pybabel init -i locales/messages.pot -d locales -l [lang]
     

3. Translate the text:

   • Open the newly created .po file at locales/[lang]/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po.
   • For each msgid, add the translation in the msgstr field.

4. Compile the translations:

   • Run the following command in the terminal:

     pybabel compile -d locales
     

5. Submit a pull request:
