Debian package translation

I’m a beginner to Debian packaging and programming in general. I have built a Debian package for my python script and want to make it available for translating into other languages. What should I add to the package? Or do I have to rebuild it?


For translation of the package description there is nothing special that you need to do, it will be handled automatically by the Debian Description Translation Project (DDTP). But if your package contains any debconf templates for setting up, you should use po-debconf to allow translations for those templates.
