django-languages-plus 2.1.1

A django model & fixture containing common languages and culture codes

django-languages-plus provides models and fixtures for working with both common languages and ‘culture codes’ or locale codes, like pt-BR.

Note that this is only a small (but popular) subset of all living languages, and is not even a comprehensive set of the ISO 639 languages. It does however include the endonym/autonym/exonym.

The Language model contains all ISO 639-1 languages and related information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

The model provides the following fields (original wikipedia.org column name in parentheses).

• name_en (ISO Language Name)

• name_native (Native Name)

• iso_639_1 (639-1)

• iso_639_2T = (639-2/T)

• iso_639_2B = (639-2/B)

• iso_639_3 = (639-3)

• family = (Language Family)

• countries_spoken

Installation

pip install django-languages-plus

Usage

1. Add languages_plus to your INSTALLED_APPS

2. Migrate your database and load the language data fixture:

   python manage.py migrate
   python manage.py loaddata languages_data.json.gz

3. In your code use:

   from languages_plus.models import Language
   lang = Language.objects.get(iso_639_1='en')

Generating Culture Codes (ex: pt_BR)

django-countries-plus(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-countries-plus) is now an explicit requirement. After installing both packages you can run the following command once to associate the two datasets and generate a list of culture codes (pt_BR for example):

from languages_plus.utils import associate_countries_and_languages
associate_countries_and_languages()

Requirements

django-countries-plus >= 1.

Django: Tested against the LTS versions of 3, 4, and the latest of 5. Python 3
