multilingual

I'm translating my website into the 24 languages of the European Union. These include the "Malti" language, that is not listed in django default supported languages. I would like to know if there is a way to add a custom language to django so it can work with the native i18n url function. Thanks! I found the solution, you have to manually add a folder in /django/conf/locale/ with the language extension you want. Actually you can just copy past the en (english) folder and name it after the missing language (in my case mt). In this folder you can also edit the file formats.py to localize the

I currently have a Plone 4.3.8 site where editing a portlet causes a deadlock. I'm trying to find tools to fix this, but most deadlock tools don't work & I'm not getting good information (IMO) from those that at least run. I've tried: z3c.deadlockdebugger => can't get to a stacktrace ZopeHealthWatcher => can't see the results on command line (or webpage) Products.LongRequestLogger => perhaps the best so far, gives me some log output - but it's stack traces focus on Diazo code, but the problem still occurs when Diazo isn't in scope (running against 127.0.0.1) gdb attach - just landed me in C

I want to make a multi-language site, but I'm not sure what the best way is to deal with the URL structure from a SEO point of view. Some examples: Product example.com/product/123/en/product-name or example.com/product/123/product-name/en Or other? Category example.com/Category/en/furniture/chair/ or example.com/Category/en/120/chair/ or example.com/Category/en/chair/ Or other? unor (Ignoring the SEO aspect, as it’s off-topic on Stack Overflow.) Having the language tag as the first path segment is the most common convention. And it makes sense, especially if you translate the path (which you

I have a Magento site with multiple languages. I have setup the language packs and everything seems to translate properly on the website. Also the transactional e-mails are sent in the correct language EXCEPT for the " Forgot Password " e-mail which is always sent in German. Here's what I did: Installed language packs and made sure all templates and folder structures are correct. Example: /app/locale/nl_NL/template/email/ Under System » Transactional Emails : I applied the template, chose the locale and saved. Then I went to System » Configuration » Sales Emails , I switched to each language

I have some code in Python using PIL, that will print UTF-8 characters to an image. I've noticed that for joining Bidi scripts like Arabic, the same code fails to connect characters correctly (the initial forms are only chosen, medial and final forms aren't utilized) Can anyone recommend a method or technique for solving this particular issue? If you want to keep using PIL, use pyarabicshaping with pybidi or you might want to consider switching to pangocairo which uses HarfBuzz for text shaping. What I did is the following: Python + Wand (Python Lib) +arabic_reshaper(Python Lib) +bidi

What is considered the best strategy for URLs of translated websites? Something I see happen frequently is: http://example.com/english-slug.html http://example.com/de/english-slug.html http://example.com/fr/english-slug.html This has the (minor) advantage that a user can manually switch to another language by modifying the URL. The disadvantage seems to be that the URL consists of a slug in the wrong language for every page not in the default language. That would cause a SEO penalty, I think. The alternative would be to translate the slugs as well and optionally omit the language identifier as
