i18n: How to the language on per-user basis

2008-07-17 Thread Torsten Bronger

Hallöchen!

In my Web application, every user has to log in.  In an additional
user database table, the prefered language of each user is given.
But how do I activate it?

I use django.contrib.auth.views.login for the login.  However, as
far as I can see, I have to copy-and-paste this function and add a
line to it which stors the language in the current session.  Am I
right?

Tschö,
Torsten.

Yes, that would do it.

You could use "user profiles" which will allow you to store various user
specific preferences. See [1] to learn how to do this.

I am currently using profiles to identify users by the department they work
in and the last time they edited a form (this is different from last login).

Best,

Hello,

Sometimes ago I try to solve a similar problem, it seems to me that
the solution to your problem is to write a middleware.
You will find an example there : 
http://yml-blog.blogspot.com/search/label/Django

---8<
from django.utils.cache import patch_vary_headers
from django.utils import translation

class MultilingualURLMiddleware:
def get_language_from_request (self,request):
# This is the place where you should write
# the logic to find the right language
lang =  user.language  # <= May be something like
return lang
def process_request(self, request):
from django.conf import settings
language = self.get_language_from_request(request)
if language is None:
language = settings.LANGUAGE_CODE[:2]
translation.activate(language)
request.LANGUAGE_CODE = translation.get_language()
def process_response(self, request, response):
patch_vary_headers(response, ("Accept-Language",))
translation.deactivate()
return response
--8<--
I hope that help.
--yml

At the Pinax project for example, we are using a language field in the  
profile model [1] together with a custom middleware [2] to set the  
locale of the website for every logged-in user.
