How to add languages to pootle

Question

Can someone tell me how to add languages in a new project in pootle?

I'm using pootle 2.7. I already added a new project but whenever I go projects//admin/languages/ , it gives a message "There are no templates for this project, so adding new languages from this screen is disabled."

Answer 1

You either need to:

1. Have a language named templates , which includes the template files ( pot ) where the rest of languages will be initialized from. You can add these in the server's file system and import them via the update_stores management command . After that, the /projects/admin/languages/ screen will allow you to add new languages via the UI.
2. Have your languages directly imported via the command-line, also using the update_stores management command
