In order to add the support for spell checking in more languages than english you need to add some additional dictionaries to pyenchant. These are located on the dictionaries folder under windows-dependencies. Simply copy them to the share/enchant/myspell folder located in your enchant installation. They will be automatically copied when building a binary version.

### How to generate a translation template ### How to generate a translation template
Run the gen_pot.bat file, located in the tools directory. Your python installation must be in your path environment variable. The pot file will appear in the tools directory. To manage translations in TWBlue, you can install the [Babel package.](https://pypi.org/project/Babel/) You can extract message catalogs and generate the main template file with the following command:
### How to build the portableApps.com archive pybabel extract -o twblue.pot --msgid-bugs-address "manuel@manuelcortez.net" --copyright-holder "MCV software" --input-dirs ..\src
If you want to have TWBlue on your PortableApps.com platform, follow these steps:
* Navigate to the src directory, and create a binary version for x86: C:\python37\python setup.py build
* Move the dist directory to the misc\pa.c format\app folder in this repo, and rename it to twblue
* Repeat these steps with Python for x64: C:\python37x64\python setup.py build
* Move the new dist directory to the misc\pa.c format\app folder, and rename it to twblue64
* Run the PortableApps.com Launcher Generator, and follow the wizard. Choose the pa.c format folder and continue to generate the launcher. If the wizard is completed, you will see a file named TWBlue portable.exe inside the pa.c format folder.
* Run the PortableApps.com Installer, and follow the wizard. As in the above step, choose the pa.c format folder. When it completes, you will see a file named TWBluePortable_x.y.paf.exe inside the misc folder, where x.y is the version number.
