can be used from the ``i18n`` directory to create an initial PO file called ``en.po`` if the ``gettext``
utilities are installed.
.. note::
An empty ``msgstr``, as is the default after running ``msginit``, leads to
the ``msgid`` being printed as-is. It does *not* hide the whole text, as
might be expected.
Depending on the context, you might be able to use comments like
``<!-- empty -->`` as translations to effectively hide the text.
