==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **FileTranslationsLoader**
==========================================================================================================================================

Standard :ref:`TranslationsLoader`  implementation.          

This finds catalogs in the filesystem, using the standard Unix layout. This is the default unless you change the loader with :meth:`Translations.SetLoader` . 

Catalogs are searched for in standard places (current directory first, then the system one), but you may also prepend additional directories to the search path with :meth:`~FileTranslationsLoader.AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix`.
