Requirements

• Django

• django-modeltranslation

Installation

1. Install python library using pip: pip install django-templates-i18n

2. Add templates_i18n to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings file

3. Sync and migrate your database

4. Specify desired languages in your Django settings file:

   from django.utils.translation import gettext
   
   LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
   LANGUAGES = (
       ('en', gettext('English')),
       ('de', gettext('German')),
   )

5. Run sync_translation_fields and update_translation_fields commands (from modeltranslation app)

Usage

Ajax call is made whenever the parent field is changed. You must set up the ajax URL to return json list of lists:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template import Template, Context
from django.views.generic import View

from templates_i18n.models import Template_i18n


class MyView(View):
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        template_i18n = Template_i18n.objects.get(machine_name='my-template')
        template = Template(template_i18n.content)
        context = Context({'user': request.user})
        return HttpResponse(template.render(context))

or:

from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.template import Template, Context
from templates_i18n.models import Template_i18n


def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    template_i18n = Template_i18n.objects.get(machine_name='my-template')
    template = Template(template_i18n.content)
    context = Context({'user': request.user})
    message = template.render(context)
    send_mail('Subject here', message, 'from@example.com', ['to@example.com'], fail_silently=False)
