+## Internationalization
+Application strings marked for translation are extracted and used to generate `.pot` files using the following command:
+```shell
+# extract strings and generate .pot files
+make pot
+```
+To include the translations in the development environment, we compile them prior to building the ui:
+```shell
+# remove any prior ui builds
+make clean-ui
+
+# compile the .pot files to javascript files usable by the application
+make languages
+
+# build the ui with translations included
+make ui-devel
+```
+**Note**: Python 3.6 is required to compile the `.pot` files.
