django-admin makemessages
Runs over the entire source tree of the current directory and pulls out all strings marked for translation. It creates (or updates) a message file in the conf/locale (in the django tree) or locale (for projects and applications) directory. You must run this command with one of either the --locale, --exclude, or --all options

--exclude, -x <EXCLUDE> | Locales to exclude. Default is none. Can be used multiple times |
--domain, -d <DOMAIN> | The domain of the message files (default: "django") |
--all, -a | Updates the message files for all existing locales |
