'Django in Docker: is GNU gettext tools only required in dev?

I'm building a Django app with Docker.

I have 2 dockerfiles, one for dev and one for prod.

To use Django's i18n, it's required to install "GNU gettext tools". I could add lines to dockerfile.dev to install this

RUN apt update
RUN apt install gettext -y

However, do I need this tool also installed in prod?

It shouldn't be necessary, as you're just using the gettext to create the translations and compile them.

hope this helps.
