Let's say I make a module.

How can I generate a .po files for this module?

First we have to load the terms on OpenERP.

Log on OpenERP and ensure you are in Technical Features group

Synchronize translations in

Settings -> Translations -> Application Terms -> Synchronize Terms

Then use the following command line to generate your po file:

server/openerp-server --log-level=error --i18n-export=/tmp/<lang>.po -l <lang_code> -d <database> --modules=<module_name>

Ex.
lang_code = fr_FR
lang = fr

Then you can use msgmerge to merge the new po file with an existing one.

Thanks for the tip, do you know for which versions does it work ?

This is what I use for v6.1 and v7 in a script.

If you can't run openerp but can only use it, go to

Settings -> Translations -> Import / Export -> Export Translation

and folow the step to extract your po file

This does not extract text from `_("Python code")`, only from XML files. Instead, Yannick Vaucher's method does.
