i need some help with a internationalization (I18N) issue for a website.
In trying to change the value of the language name of the I18N code, I have a select form with the languages so i change it, this is the code of the select:
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ redirect_to }}" />
<select name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()">
{% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
{% for language in languages %}
<option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected="selected"{% endif %}>
{{ trans 'language.name_local|capfirst' }}
</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
</form>
This is the languages declaration in setting.py
ugettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
('es', ugettext('Spanish')),
('en', ugettext('English')),
('eu', ugettext('Euskera')),
)
Euskera is the local language of the spanish state Basque country.
But in the select it shows the values: "Español","English","Basque" and I want it to show different values depending the current language.
If i want the website in Spanish it should show: "Español", "Ingles", "Euskera".
If i want the website in English it should show: "Spanish", "English", "Basque"
If i want the website in Spanish it should show: "Español", "Ingles", "Euskera"
I have three django.po files for each languaje and they translate other texts correctly.
If you have any idea, please share it.
Thank you.

I am currently working on an online store. I want a user to be able to change their currency option in the header and convert the whole site to the currency choice. I have found app called django-money, which seams to have that functionality, but I cannot find any implementation examples.
I want it to work like localize work in django. Having a form that will redirect to URL and saving choice in session and in cookie. This is the example of the language selection code.
/template.html
<form action="{% url 'set_language' %}" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ redirect_to }}">
<select name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()">
{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
{% for language in languages %}
<option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected{% endif %}>
{{ language.code|upper}}
</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
</form>
And then whenever I need something to be translated I will use this inside html:
{% trans "Some text to translate" %}
So is there something similar for currency? What would be the action for the form? Please can somebody help if you have ready solution! I will really appreciate.
I'm developing website with 2 versions of german (Default and Austrian).
My problem is that template do not differ them, so in select django displays them both as Deutsch(de).
Languages in settings.py:
('en', _('English')),
('de', _('German')),
('de-at', _('Austrian'))
template code:
<form action="{% url 'set_language' %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ redirect_to }}" />
<select style="border:1px dotted black" name="language">
{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
{% for language in languages %}
<option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected="selected"{% endif %}>
{{ language.name_local }} ({{ language.code }})
</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<input class="btn-primary" type="submit" value="{% trans 'Change' %}" />
</form>
Code is from documentation.
Translation in Austrian language doesn't work, because django in select defines Austrian as default Deutsch select it and do not translate.
So, are there any ways to display sublanguage in template, like (Deutsch(de-at)) or just (Austrian instead of Deutsch), or are there any other ways to solve it?
Tried to change all languages in settings:
('en-us', _('English')),
('de-de', _('German')),
('de-at', _('Austrian'))
Then created .po and .mo files to them. But still template defines them as same languages. Also I thought about changing language name in template, but as far as I understand I can't do it.
I've sold my problem, still don't understand what's the reason...
Django front end form, that I copied from documentation doesn't work as it should.
Form, that I used on front side works correct only with base languages and crashes on sublanguages(all). Now I've rewrite this form:
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<select style="border:1px solid black" name="language">
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}"
{% ifequal lang.0 request.LANGUAGE_CODE %}
selected="yes"
{% endifequal %}
>{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<input type="submit" value="{% trans 'Change' %}" />
</form>
Per now it works fine...
I have a django website I am adding translations to with a language selector that lists the available languages in the user's language. I would like to have the dropdown include the native spelling also.
Currently it looks like this:
English
Dutch
Simplified Chinese
When I switch to Chinese it looks like:
英语
荷兰语
简体中文
I am trying to make it look like:
English/English
Dutch/Nederlands
Simplified Chinese/简体中文
settings.py includes:
ugettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('English')),
('nl', ugettext('Dutch')),
('zh-cn', ugettext('Simplified Chinese')),
)
base.html:
{% load i18n %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/" />
{% csrf_token %}
<select name="language">
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}">{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
My thought was to add another item to LANGUAGES that is the native language, like:
LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('English'), 'English'),
('nl', ugettext('Dutch'), 'Nederlands'),
('zh-ch', ugettext('Simplified Chinese'), '简体中文'),)
But Django seems to expect a 2 item tuple for LANGUAGES. Any other ideas?
EDIT per Alexander's comment:
I thought that might be a simpler solution, but after changing the code:
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/" />
<select name="language">
<option value="en">English</option>
<option value="nl">Dutch\Nederlands</option>
<option value="ru">Russian\Русский</option>
<option value="zh-cn">Simplified Chinese-简体中文</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
The Russian and Chinese scripts are showing up as question marks - Russian\???????, Chinese-????
I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in the html, other Russian and Chinese text (outside of this form) appears fine.
Try this:
LANGUAGES = (
('en', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('English'), 'English')),
('nl', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('Dutch'), 'Nederlands')),
('zh-cn', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('Simplified Chinese'), '简体中文')),
)
Then you can use this in your templates:
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}">{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}
Taking Alexander's suggestion, I was able to get the code in the edit above to work properly. I did not have the <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
line within the 'head' area, which is required, and that was giving me the ???? where the Chinese characters should have been.
After seeing it in action, I may have 2 language selectors, one that gets translated into the current language, and another with the English/Native characters if it isn't too busy.
I also will put the language list in a module and pass it to the template similar to getting the LANGUAGES.
I have a french and a english site up, very basic. I created my fr language file. I have a few translated strings to test this to make sure it works but I am confused as how to set up the actual link to swap between languages. I have followed this, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/i18n/internationalization/#the-set-language-redirect-view but receive a 404 for /next/page, am i doing this correctly? Here is my code if this helps:
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/next/page/" />
<select name="language">
{% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
{% if lang.0 != '' %}
<option value="{{lang.0}}">{{lang.1}}</option>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
I have also added my urls like so:
(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
And I have this in my settings for middleware and language:
'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
LANGUAGES = (
('en', 'English'),
('fr', 'French'),
)
I am confused as to how to have this working so i can swap between the 2 languages, or, If I am doing it correctly, why am I getting that 404 error with the /next/page when trying to change languages?
Thanks!

In this line
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/next/page/" />
you have to substitute "/next/page/" with the page that you want to load after the language change.
In case that you want to load the same page, you should write value="".
The officual django doc suggest to write the following in the settings.py
ugettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
('de', ugettext('German')),
('en', ugettext('English')),
)
With this arrangement, django-admin.py makemessages will still find and mark these strings for translation, but the translation won't happen at runtime -- so you'll have to remember to wrap the languages in the real ugettext() in any code that uses LANGUAGES at runtime.
But, I fail to understand where to wrap the code with real translation tags?
e.g. my code in template is
<form id="locale_switcher" method="POST" action="{% url localeurl_change_locale %}">
<label><b>{% trans "Language" %}:</b></label>
<select name="locale" onchange="$('#locale_switcher').submit()">
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}" {% ifequal lang.0 LANGUAGE_CODE %}selected="selected"{% endifequal %}>
{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<noscript>
<input type="submit" value="Set" />
</noscript>
</form>
The solution suggested here: Using settings.LANGUAGES with properly translated names using gettext()
Shows empty select box with no text at all on any laguage
The following code works for me:
// settings.py
ugettext = lambda s:s
LANGUAGES = (
('de', ugettext('German')),
('en', ugettext('English')),
)
// template
{% load i18n %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% for LANGUAGE in LANGUAGES %}
<p>{{ LANGUAGE.0 }} - {{ LANGUAGE.1 }}</p>
{% endfor %}
