A Quick Intro to Translation in Django (Internationalization)

In this video I show you a little about how internationalization works in Django. That is when you support multiple languages in your app. In the example app that I build, I will support both English and (bad) Spanish.

I think you forgot to define LOCALE_PATHS in settings. This give me an error. In Setting.py LOCALE_PATHS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale') ]

How do you persist the language when navigating to a new page via a tag? I changed my language which works, but when I try to navigate to a new page, it reverts back to the default language instead of staying on the changed language

[@paolocaradonna3294]

have you found any solution to set the language in the session?

[@OswaldChisala]

You're an absolute legend, Anthony! Thank you my bro 🥳🏆

[@michaels6446]

Very nice content! Thanks a lot! It would indeed be great to have a little deep-dive on this topic. Thinking about a multi-language page (supporting >2 languages), manual language selection and also some more info on how this would work with forms e.g. validation messages, fieldnames...

[@hannibalbianchi1466]

Thank u I've been looking for this for a month.

[@juliocefe1807]

La traducción correcta sería "Hola, yo soy Antonio" o "Hola, soy Antonio " :), great video!!

[@prettyprinted]

Haha thanks. I didn't pay attention in my Spanish class

[@Jjolasman]

How you got the gettext working with the django-admin makemessages - l ? I am having this error: CommandError: Can't find msguniq. Make sure you have GNU gettext tools 0.15 or newer installed. I made the command: pip install python-gettext. but nothing is working

[@dVicho]

Hello, thak you for sahre this tutorial. I read the official guida but is not intuitive. I follow the video and works fine. Your spanish is good :D

[@androidwithseemant6390]

it worked like magic, thanks for this tutorial

[@prettyprinted]

Glad it helped!

[@wanderer.1993]

i didn't understand: you must MANUALLY set the translation? And every time a new input is added (like admin), i would need to compile the messages again? it didn't seen to be very pratical in a production enviorment, honestly...

thank you for such useful video ,, but please how can i switch between 2 lang inside the app itself not by browser

[@bryanDaMazo16]

What do you mean? He did the translation by himself

[@mohako98]

@@bryanDaMazo16 I mean something like a navigation button en/ar Or a radio button in the header Not change language from settings of browser

[@bryanDaMazo16]

@@mohako98 Then, there are many approaches. The first would be to make 2 websites in different languages and with a button-action, load the other page. Easy but repetitive. The other that I prefer is to write a function in javascript, a translator function that maps every item that needs to be translated to its language. Easier to scale since if you add support for another language, you just need to update the data for mapping, and the function will take care of the rest, and that my friend you enter in the big area of accessibility. Your backend has to identify the user country to load the correct language. Otherwise, it would send the default and you don't send all the language in one call for performance issues.
