Translator

Translator is an app for collecting translations for specified keys in django admin.

Quick start

  1. Add "translator, taggit, modeltranslation" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'taggit',
        'modeltranslation',
                'translator',
    
        )
    
  2. You have to set the migrations folder for the translator, because we have to add migrations for the set languages. (More informations on the South documentation.) Add the following to your settings file:

    SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {

    'translator': 'my_project.migrations',

    }

  3. Create a migrations python package in your project folder (where your settings.py usually is).

  4. Run python manage.py schemamigration translator --initial to create the translator models based on the languages you specified in your settings file.

  5. Run python manage.py migrate to migrate the translator models to your database.

  6. If you intend to use it in the templates, add 'translator.context_processors.translator' to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS

    TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
           ...
       'translator.context_processors.translator',
    )
    
  7. Create translation keys in your templates and models.

    Examples:

    Template:

    {{ translator.a_key }}
    

    models.py:

    from translator.util import translator_lazy as _
    ...
    
    class Product(models.Model):
        name = models.TextField(verbose_name=_(u"a_key"))
    
  8. Visit the templates. The keys get collected lazy.

  9. Translate the keys in the admin.
