The best/recommended way to translate Django database values

Question

I\'m trying to figure out the best way to translate actual database values (textual strings, not date formats or anything complicated) when internationalizing my Django appl

Answer 1

I was reading up on my django extensions, and found the django-modeltranslation plugin. It seems to do exactly what you want it to do.

Answer 2

You could take a look at the following thread which seems to be the same question you're asking here.

I wouldn't mind hearing the solution you eventually will be using as sometime in the future I might have the same question:)

Answer 3

I also found this small project which purpose is to synchronize localized strings into standard message files for fields of registered models.

Example:

import vinaigrette
vinaigrette.register(YourModel, ['name', 'description'])

The standard command

$ manage.py makemessages

Would maintain messages for each distinct values found in registered fields.

I have not had the occasion to try it yet.
But this seems for me to be the simplest way to translate data from db.
