django-polyglot
This package is based on the translations module from FeinCMS. It offers functions and abstract base classes that can be used to store translated models. There isn't much magic going on here.
Usage example:
class News(models.Model, TranslatedObjectMixin):
active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
class NewsTranslation(Translation(News)):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
body = models.TextField()Print the titles of all news entries either in the current language (if available) or in any other language:
for news in News.objects.all():
print news.translation.titlePrint all the titles of all news entries which have an english translation:
from django.utils import translation
translation.activate('en')
for news in News.objects.filter(translations__language_code='en'):
print news.translation.title
