The Console User Interface is a text-based interface for managing the basic grommunio Appliance configuration.

To get the CUI running, the Python modules from requirements.txt need to be installed.

Make sure the path is correctly set:

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:<cui_source_dir>"

or let the install script copy cui.sh to the system:

./install.sh

First use xgettext from the package gettext-tools and use it to search for T_-function calls and generate the template pot file via:

cd grommunio-cui
xgettext -kT_ -d cui -o locale/cui.pot cui/*.py

and then use msgmerge to merge the new or changed keys into the corresponding language file.

for lang in $(cd locale && echo */); do \
    msgmerge --update locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/cui.po locale/cui.pot; \
done

Now give the corresponding po-files to the right translator for translating the added and modified keys. If you get the files back returned from your local translator, you will have to reformat the binary mo-files with the assist of the translated po-files.

for lang in $(cd locale && echo */); do \
    msgfmt -o locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/cui.mo locale/$lang/LC_MESSAGES/cui.po; \
done
