**zgettext.py** is part of the **zope-localizer** software package.

**zgettext.py** -h

    Shows this help message.

**zgettext.py** \[file file ... file\] \[-l languages\]

    Parses all the specified files, creates the locale\
     directory, creates the locale.pot file and the .po\
     files of the languages specified.

**zgettxt.py** -m

    Compiles all the .po files in the locale directory\
     and creates the .mo files.
