Trigger i18n translation in the rendering method of a view

[Sebastian Ware]

I can get i18n translation to work fine in PageTemplates, but how do I force translation of text that isn't inserted into templates?

I want to do this and get the string to be translated:

  from . import ApplicationMessageFactory as _
  class TestTranslate(grok.View):
      def render(self):
          return _("I need to be translated")

I have set my breakpoints and I am trying to figure out how the TAL-engine does this, but I am not making much progress.

In fact  ApplicationMessageFactory  just return a string containing
informations for translation.

You need :

from zope.i18n import translate
return translate(_("I need to be translated"))

and this shall be ok, I think.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Thanks for a quick response! Unfortunately I can't get it to work, I did find that call in the PageTemplate implementation, but running translate only returns the original string. However, if I call the view from a PageTemplate:

   tal:replace="context/@@theview"

it is in fact translated.

Do you have this working?

Turns out one needed to supply the request-object as context. This works:

  from zope.i18n import translate
  class ForceTranslate(grok.View):
      def render(self):
          return translate(_("Allt val?"), context=self.request)

This is because the request is the object containing the browser
information related to the language, it's all stored in the Locales
object in the request

Thanks!

It seems that I will need to do something like this to make the code concise.
Does this look reasonable?

  from translation import ApplicationMessageFactory as MsgF
  from zope.i18n import translate
  class HelpTranslate(grok.View):
      def render(self):
          def _(txt):
              return translate(MsgF(txt), context=self.request)
          outp = []
          outp.append(_("Alla glada?"))
          return "".join(outp)
