User Language Middleware

What's this?

This package contains a middleware that activates translations based on the language field in the user model. This enables easy user-specific localization of a Django application: just add a language string field to the user model, install this middleware and you're good to go!

Usage

Add a language field to your user model:

class User(auth_base.AbstractBaseUser, auth.PermissionsMixin):
    # ...
    language = models.CharField(max_length=10,
                                choices=settings.LANGUAGES,
                                default=settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)

Install the middleware from pip:

pip install django-user-language-middleware

and then add it to your middleware class list to listen to requests:

MIDDLEWARE = [  # Or MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES on Django < 1.10
    ...
    'user_language_middleware.UserLanguageMiddleware',
    ...
]
