_ = Translator("ExampleCog", __file__)
@cog_i18n(_)
class ExampleCog:
"""description"""
@commands.command()
async def mycom(self, ctx):
"""command description"""
await ctx.send(_("This is a test command"))

Tutorial
--------
After making your cog, generate a :code:`messages.pot` file
The process of generating this will depend on the operating system
you are using
In a command prompt in your cog's package (where yourcog.py is),
create a directory called "locales".
Then do one of the following:
Windows: :code:`python <your python install path>\Tools\i18n\pygettext.py -D -n -p locales`
Mac: ?
Linux: :code:`pygettext3 -D -n -p locales`
This will generate a messages.pot file with strings to be translated, including
docstrings.
