django-flags

The django-flags helps writing internationalized applications based on "verbose" templates:

In this situation, it is more efficient to maintain a set of templates per language than writing one set of templates with many trans tags.

What django-flags does

django-flags provides:

• a template tag displaying country flags in a form
• two template loaders searching (LANGUAGE_CODE)/(template_name)

Here's an example of a flags form:

Test it

download or check it out, then launch the project test with: python manage.py testserver That's all !

A screenshot of test page:

Using django-flags in your django project

settings.py

add the following template loaders first: TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'yourproject.flags.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source', 'yourproject.flags.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source', ... )

add the local middleware after the session middleware: MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( ... 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', ... )

add the flags application: INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'yourproject.flags', )

add flags application parameters; you can choose flags icons server: ```

see urls.py

FLAGS_I18N_PREFIX = '/lang/i18n/'

flags served by local server

FLAGS_URL = MEDIA_URL

flags served by net server

FLAGS_URL = 'http://djangodev.free.fr/flags/'

languages

ugettext = lambda s: s LANGUAGES = ( ('ar', ugettext('Arabic')), ('fr', ugettext('French')), ('en', ugettext('English')), ('es', ugettext('Spanish')), ('de', ugettext('German')), ('pl', ugettext('Polish')), ) ```

urls.py

include flags.urls (the prefix must match settings.FLAGS_I18N_PREFIX): urlpatterns = patterns('', # django-flags for internationalization (r'^lang/', include('yourproject.flags.urls')), ... )

templates

Insert the following code to generate the flags form: {% load flags_lib %}{% flags_form %}

• copy templates/.html to templates/LANG/.html
• translate templates/LANG/.html

That's all.
