Translate Django model data using gettext
Project description
django-vinaigrette
Vinaigrette translates Django model data – stored in the database – using GNU gettext and Django’s standard internationalization features.
Installing
Add vinaigrette to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.
Then, tell vinaigrette which fields you want to translate. Because vinaigrette needs to register signals, you should register your model translations when models have finished loading, in the appropriate apps.py files (or wherever you keep your AppConfig subclasses):
import vinaigrette
class SaladAppConfig(AppConfig):
def ready(self):
# Import the model requiring translation
from .models import Ingredient # or...
Ingredient = self.get_model("Ingredient")
# Register fields to translate
vinaigrette.register(Ingredient, ['name', 'description'])
This tells vinaigrette to translate the name and description fields on Ingredient objects.
Using
After installing vinaigrette, the PO files generated by manage.py makemessages will include strings from the registered fields. If a particular string is translated, the model value will be the string translated into the appropriate language:
>>> from django.utils.translation import activate
>>> i = Ingredient(name=u'Lettuce')
>>> i.name
u'Lettuce'
>>> activate('fr')
>>> i.name
u'Laitue'
Et cetera
There are a couple of options to restrict which objects translation strings will be collected from. See the docstring for vinaigrette.register.
Vinaigrette adds a --keep-obsolete option to manage.py makemessages, which prevents gettext from deactivating translated messages no longer present in code or in registered database fields.
Vinaigrette is designed for database content that is:
always edited in the default language
edited by site administrators, not users
Only model instances are translated. Data accessed via the Django QuerySet values method will not be translated.
In general, when a field is accessed, it will always return the translated version, if one exists. However, if a value is set, the exact value entered (and not the translated version) should be saved to the database. For example:
>>> from django.utils.translation import activate
>>> i = Ingredient(name=u'Lettuce')
>>> activate('fr')
>>> i.name
u'Laitue'
>>> i.name = 'Cabbage'
>>> i.name
u'Chou'
>>> i.save()
>>> Ingredient.objects.get(name='Cabbage').name
u'Chou'
Help! The Admin is messing up all the vinaigrette fields whenever I save changes!
Add vinaigrette.middleware.VinaigretteAdminLanguageMiddleware to your settings.MIDDLEWARE to force the admin to always use the main language, and not have vinaigrette mess with your change views.
