Thank you, for sharing your experience. The best answer is https://stackoverflow.com/a/45574890/3786145. Just after many efforts, it is good to mention that: if you want to use this tool in Pycharm IDE such that works in a different environment(wich python path and path variable are changed (eg: OSGeo)), it is necessary to make a batch file and add these two directories to the changed path:

path %PATH%;C:\Program Files\gettext-iconv\bin
path %path%;C:\Program Files\gettext-iconv\lib\gettext
SET PYCHARM="D:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2020.2.2\bin\pycharm64.exe"
start "PyCharm aware of get text" /B %PYCHARM% %*

After running Pycharm using this batch file, go to tools/Run manage.py Task. In the appeared window write your command like this: makemessages -l 'fa_IR' for more information refer to: [1] https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-message-files.html [2] https://silverspringenergy.com/using-pycharm-as-an-ide-for-qgis-3-plugin-development-2/
