Hello,

Good question, I think that both solutions can do the job, and it depends on your needs.

If you choose the second option I think you also need to edit the `MANIFEST.in` to recursively grab your files in your package, then that will look like something like:

```
# MANIFEST.in
recursive-include translations/ *
```

```
# setup.cfg
[files]
packages =
yourproject
data_files =
etc/yourproject/translation = translations/*

```

Where do you want to use this? I mean, do you have a specific project behind this question?

Hello everyone :),

I was wondering what the preferred method to install localization files
is. I can think of some probably solutions such as:

1: Including the locale files as part of a package for the target
systems package manager (pacman, yum, apt, etc).
2: adding the locale files to the [files] directive in setup.cfg:

I hope someone can answer my question.

Kind regards,
