-------------------------+--------------------------------------
Currently, internationalization outside of templates and views requires
several lines of code, identically each time:
{{{
from django.utils import translation
def welcome_translated(language):
cur_language = translation.get_language()
try:
translation.activate(language)
text = translation.ugettext('welcome')
finally:
translation.activate(cur_language)
return text
}}}
(source: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/i18n/)
However, this could easily be fitted within both decorators and context
managers, allowing the following syntax:
{{{
@translation.activate(language)
def welcome_translated(language):
return translation.ugettext('welcome')
}}}
or
{{{
def welcome_translated(language):
with translation.activate(language):
return translation.ugettext('welcome')
}}}
This would decrease the lines of code and the developer would not have to
care for the case when the execution somehow fails and forgets to add the
try/finally clause.
