Translate URL patterns and prefix URLs with language-code.
Project description
This Django app makes it possible to prefix URL patterns with the active language and to make URL patterns translatable by using gettext. As well this package contains a patch for the LocaleMiddleware so it is able to activate the right language (based on the language-prefix in the requested URL).
Translating URL patterns
After installing this package, URL patterns can also be marked translatable using the ugettext_lazy() function. Example:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ urlpatterns = patterns('' url(r'^sitemap\.xml$', 'sitemap.view', name='sitemap_xml'), ) news_patterns = patterns('' url(r'^$', 'news.views.index', name='index'), url(_(r'^category/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$'), 'news.views.category', name='category'), url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$', 'news.views.details', name='detail'), ) urlpatterns += i18n_patterns('', url(_(r'^about/$'), 'about.view', name='about'), url(_(r'^news/$'), include(news_patterns, namespace='news')), )
After you’ve created the translations, the reverse() function will return the URL in the active language. Example:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse from django.utils.translation import activate >>> activate('en') >>> reverse('news:category', kwargs={'slug': 'recent'}) '/en/news/category/recent/' >>> activate('nl') >>> reverse('news:category', kwargs={'slug': 'recent'}) '/nl/nieuws/categorie/recent/'
Installation
Install the django-i18nurls package (eg: pip install django-i18nurls).
Add i18nurls to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.
Add django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware to your settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES (if it is not already there, make sure it comes before the CommonMiddleware).
