Hi all:
I'm trying to help the developer of a Django-based webapp with adding additional language support and have some quick questions regarding how it works. The website initially only had Japanese text but now includes English translations. We would like to add Chinese as well but not just Traditional (zh-hant) and Simplified Chinese (zh-hans) but something more specific like Hong Kong Chinese (zh-hk). You'll have to excuse me since I'm not really a Django developer myself but I did try to read as much as possible regarding how Internationalization and Localization works but from my understanding, https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/conf/global_settings.py provides languages that Django provides translations for, out of the box, but it's possible to add your own language (in this case zh-hk). We don't really want to re-translate everything or make the code overly complex and honestly most of the text should be the same as zh-hant but we just want to provide some exceptions. Is it possible to just include certain text in zh-hk and the rest just let it fall back to zh-hant? Please feel free to point me to some other documentations or even examples that deals with this specifically, I will gladly review those. Oh in case anybody is interested, this is the webapp in question: https://gundam-data.herokuapp.com/uce/ We are currently managing the text to be translated via a Google Sheet and once we've gotten everything we will get it compiled and pushed out to the webapp. Thanks in advance for any tips/feedback on this! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
