django-languages-plus 0.1.5

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 (Language name (in english))

• name_native (Native name)

• iso_639_1 (639-1)

• iso_639_2T = (639-2T)

• iso_639_2B = (639-2B)

• iso_639_3 = (639-3)

• iso_639_6 = (639-6)

• name_en = models

• name_native = mo

• name_other = mod

• family = models.

• countries_spoken

Installation

pip install django-languages-plus

Usage

1. Add languages_plus to your INSTALLED_APPS

2. Sync your fixtures:

   python manage.py syncdb

3. In your code use:

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

Integrating with django-countries-plus

If you also have django-countries-plus(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-countries-plus) installed then 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

Should work on most versions of Django, however if you are using Django 1.7, tests will fail unless you are using Django 1.7.2 or higher due to a bug in earlier versions.
