title: Where should the python babel mapping configuration file be placed or named for standalone script?
body: <p>I am currently trying to use Babel to generate a set of static html pages in different languages using Jinja2 within a simple script (not as part of a web app)</p>
  
  <p>I am at the point where I need to extract the messages for translation and I know that I am supposed to modify the Babel mapping configuration file to understand Jinja2 templates.Since I am using the commandline tool, I assume I need to create the mapping file myself. </p>
  
  <p>However, I can't seem to find in the <a href="http://babel.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/messages.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> what the mapping configuration file should be named and where it should be placed. All I know is that I need to place the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[jinja2: **/templates/**.html]
  encoding = utf-8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>into the mapping file according to the Jinja2 documentation. Has anyone done something similar or know what the mapping configuration file should be? Thanks!</p>
