Django Internationalization¶
by Matt Croyden
I already know all this thanks to most of my other Django work but I may learn something new
Translating models¶
- Don’t forget the Meta attributes!
- All titles and help_text items on model attributes should be translated
Translating templates¶
sample:
{% load i18n %}
{% block trans %}{% endblock trans %}
{% trans "blah"%}
Its just Python¶
- gettext, ugettext, ungettext are just simple wrappers around Python behavior
- Django provides a lazy translation layer on top, useful in models and template tags/filters
