Django Multilingual interface Django.How

1.Change ‘Setting.py’ of our project

#default langueage of the site
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'



# list of avaible languages
LANGUAGES = (
    ('en', 'Englich'),
    ('ru', 'Русский'),
)

# enable django translate system
USE_I18N = True

# set location of files with translations
LOCALE_PATHS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
)

MIDDLEWARE = [
  ...
  'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
  ...
]

 

2.Change ‘urls.py’ of our project:

from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns

urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
    ...
    path('', include('pages.urls')),
    path('accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),  
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    ...
    prefix_default_language = False
)

 

3.Create ‘local’ folder in our project root

Now it’s working. To set place for translation, in template use it in different ways:

<br /><br /> {% load i18n %}</p><br /> <p>{% block content %}<br /><br /> <title>{% trans “This is the title.” %}</title><br /><br /> <title>{% trans myvar %}</title></p><br /> <p>{% trans “This is the title” as the_title %}<br /><br /> <title>{{ the_title }}</title></p><br /> <p>{% trans “starting point” as start %}<br /><br /> {% trans “end point” as end %}<br /><br /> {% trans “La Grande Boucle” as race %}</p><br /> <h1><br /> <a href=”/” title=”{% blocktrans %}Back to ‘{{ race }}’ homepage{% endblocktrans %}”>{{ race }}</a><br /><br /> </h1><br /> <p>{% endblock %}<br /><br />

When you create all interface run command in terminal

django-admin.py makemessages -l ru

 

!Set lang you want to create translation at the end

After this django will generate some files ‘*.po’ in our ‘local’ folder. In this files you can set translation for all words you set by ‘{% trans %}’ tag.

At the end run ‘django-admin.py compilemessages’ command in our terminal

Important for windos need to install ‘gettext’

to do thi just download 2 packages from https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/dependencies/

• gettext-runtime-X.zip
• gettext-tools-X.zip

Where ‘X’ is version (i have install 0.17)

Unzip them to ‘C:\Program Files\gettext-utils’ (need only bin folders, put them all together)

and add ‘;C:\Program Files\gettext-utils\bin’ our PATH at the end
