Simple and easy to use internationalization library inspired by Ruby i18n.
Documentation available at https://sectasy0.github.io/pyi18n.
pip install pyi18n-v2A few motivating and useful examples of how pyi18n can be used.
In first step you have to create locales folder in your main application folder. Then you can create your own locale files in this folder.
for example:
$ mkdir -p my_app/locales
$ touch my_app/locales/en.yml
$ touch my_app/locales/pl.yml
$ touch my_app/locales/de.ymlThen create an instance of PyI18n class. For custom locales directory you can pass it as an argument (default is in app_root/locale/).
from pyi18n import PyI18n
# default load_path is locales/
# you can change this path by specifying load_path parameter
i18n = PyI18n(("en", "pl", "de", "jp"), load_path="translations/")
_ = i18n.gettext
print(_("en", "hello.hello_user", user="John"))
#> Hello John!
print(_("pl", "hello.hello_user", user="John"))
#> Witaj John!
print(_("de", "hello.hello_user", user="John"))
#> Hallo John!
print(_("jp", "hello.hello_user", user="ジョンさん"))
#> こんにちは、ジョンさん！To create custom locale loader you have to create a class which will inherit from PyI18nBaseLoader and override load method with all required parameters (see below). You can see an example of custom locale loader in examples/custom_xml_loader.py.
from pyi18n.loaders import PyI18nBaseLoader
class MyCustomLoader(PyI18nBaseLoader):
def load(self, locales: tuple, load_path: str):
# load_path is the path where your loader will look for locales files
# locales is a tuple of locales which will be loaded
# return a dictionary with locale data
...your custom loader logic...
return {}Then pass your custom loader to PyI18n class.
from pyi18n.loaders import PyI18nBaseLoader
class MyCustomLoader(PyI18nBaseLoader):
def load(self, locales: tuple, load_path: str):
# load_path is the path where your loader will look for locales files
# locales is a tuple of locales which will be loaded
...your custom loader logic...
# have to return a dictionary
return {}
# don't use load_path in `PyI18n` constructor, if not using default yaml loader
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_path = "locales/"
loader = MyCustomLoader(load_path=load_path)
i18n = PyI18n(("en",), loader=loader)
_ = i18n.gettext
print(_("en", "hello.hello_user", user="John"))
#> Hello John!$ pyi18n-tasks
usage: pyi18n-tasks [-h] [-p PATH] normalize
pyi18n-tasks: error: the following arguments are required: normalizeNormalization process will sort locales alphabetically. The default normalization path is locales/, you can change it by passing -p argument.
$ pyi18n-tasks normalize $ pyi18n-tasks normalize -p my_app/locales/
