gettext for specific locales
django, internationalization, python
Solution
Context manager django.utils.translation.override activates a new language on enter and reactivates the previous active language on exit
from django.utils import translation
def get_translation_in(language, s):
with translation.override(language):
return translation.gettext(s)
print(get_translation_in('de', 'text'))
Problem
I can get the translation in current locale using. ``` from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ _("password") ``` However in my code (a form to be specific) I want to get the translation in a specific language. I want to be able to say. ``` ugettext_magic("de", "password") ``` I already have the strings translated in the languages I need.
