yaseralnajjar/django-i18n-json-demo

A simple way to load localized strings in django without (po mo) files

What is this?

A simple demo to show the usage of python-i18n using json file. No need to recompile *.po *.mo ugly files, just translate and launch!

How does it work?

local folder has the localized strings; it has both EN and AR values for the string hi.

And we load those strings in polls/views.py, you can see this view in your local server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/

from django.http import HttpResponse

import i18n
i18n.set('locale', 'ar')
i18n.load_path.append('local')

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse(i18n.t('foo.hi'))
