Question

I have done the following:

Change pyramid.default_locale_name = en to de in development.ini

My index.pt looks like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org namespaces/tal" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"  i18n:domain="mvc">
<a href="/user/login/form" i18n:translate="">Login Page</a><br />
<a href="/user/register/form" i18n:translate="">Register Page</a><br />
<a href="/ds/landing/view" i18n:translate="">Datasource landing page</a> <br />
<p>${locale_name}</p>

I have made changes to the setup.py

message_extractors = { '.': [
('**.py',   'lingua_python', None ),
('**.pt',   'lingua_xml', None ),
]}

When I run python setup.py extract_messages and python setup.py update_catalog my locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/mvc.po gets all the strings. After translation it becomes

# German translations for mvc.

#: mvc/templates/index.pt:2
msgid "Login Page"
msgstr "sign in page"

#: mvc/templates/index.pt:3
#, fuzzy
msgid "Register Page"
msgstr "register in this Page"

#: mvc/templates/index.pt:4
msgid "Datasource landing page"
msgstr "Landing Page of datasources"

Ignore the English as I have not done any actual translation. I want to check if it works.

I did python setup.py compie_catalog and mvc.mo file is created

But when I load the page I am getting the same page without translations getting picked up. The locale seems to have set properly as I can see from the view

@view_config(route_name='home',renderer='templates/index.pt')
def index_view(request):
    from pyramid.i18n import negotiate_locale_name

    return {'locale_name' : negotiate_locale_name(request)}

I have even added config.add_translation_dirs('mvc:locale') to my init.py

What am I doing wrong? Or am I doing anything right at all?

Solution

Did you configure the translation domain for your translations?
