Superset version

0.18.5

I checked the messages.po file under translations/zh/LC_MESSAGES and I found that there are more translated strings than what I see in the latest release, so how to make the translation in messages.po or messages.mo files take effect when I build and run the server?

1、download the .mo .po file and remove it under the superset dir.

2、under the superset dir:mkdir -p translations/zh/LC_MESSAGES.

3、Finally I run $ "pybabel compile -d translations". This generate the /tranlations/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo successfully.

4、run "superset runserver".

have a try!
thank you.

@akfdgg Can you be more specific? Why do you remove the .mo and .po files at step 1 and re-generate them at step 3?
