Django - Translation check list

1. Mark your text for translation. ex: a. In template: using {% load i18n %} (at the top but have to be after the 'extends' tag) and {% trans 'text to be translated' %} b. in your code: from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ ; _('Your text to be translated here') 2. Build the message file for language translations (creating .po files: ./manage makemessages -l vi (my django-admin.py doesn't work for me) You can run this again to reexamine the other text 3. Compile messages files ./manage compilemessages (do this again after you make changes to your po file 4. settings file LOCALE_PATHS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'), ) LANGUAGE_CODE = 'vi' 5. use URL international with i18n_patterns and set_length() add django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES Use this form to set user's language preference

{% csrf_token %} {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %} {% for language in languages %} {{ language.name_local }} ({{ language.code }}) {% endfor %}
