The key to solving this to separate the parsing of the string into the .po file and its translation.

def i18n(s):
return s

msg = i18n(‘my message’)

print(_(msg))
print(msg)

Now you tell the xgettex, pygettext etc, to parse to use “i18n” to find strings to translate.

This is covered in the docs at https://docs.python.org/3/library/gettext.html#localizing-your-module
