I can't get i18n (in Kid templates) working. - I am using admi18n of the toolbox (everything seems to work fine here), however I can't see a single translated string. Don't know if this is a matter of configuration or something else.
Steps to reproduce this problem: For the purpose of this e-mail I am starting in an environment with $LANG set to en_US.UTF-8 and try to translate some strings to german. (I guess this is the more common case, also covered in the docs, actually later I want to do it the other way around: have a german default environment and translate some strings to English) My system is TG 1.0b1, fetched with easy_install, on Debian sarge, python 2.4.1 I am starting with a quickstart project $ tg-admin quickstart ... and I am trying to translate some of the string in welcome.kid. Fromthe toolbox $ tg-admin toolbox I can choose admi18n, collect the strings form welcome.kid and generate a locales/messages.pot file. Then I manage my languages (> Manage your languages): I added a new locale for "de (German)" from the list. Now editing this de locale gives me a chance to to translate some of the strings: * let's say the very last string: "Welcome to TurboGears" (This is used in the title tag of welcome.kid: <title>Welcome to Turbogears</title> and is used by the WindowManager for my Browser Window.) German: "Wilkommen zu TG." * as another string I am choosing "Your TurboGears application is now running." in german that is: "Ihr TG Programm läuft jetzt." I save those strings and I can seem them now in locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po clicking on "Manage your languages" once more (and having the de locale selected) gives me a chance to "Compile selected locales to .mo files" - seems successfull so far, too: When I look into the (binary) locales/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo file, I can see those two translated strings. So I restarted my server - experimenting with a couple of configuration options and Browser language configurations, but no tranlation. I used: i18n.run_template_filter=True and also tried i18n.default_locale='de' in dev.cfg, also I am using de before en in the list of my browser's (firefox) preferred languages, all this with no success. An older doc for i18n in tg (http://www.checkandshare.com/admi18n) suggests having sessionFilter.on = True so I tried that, too. Don't now if this is still valid: the suggested modification to controllers.py there def index(self, lang=None) ... if lang: cherrypy.session['locale'] = lang doesn't seem to work any more(?) The documentation http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Internationalization states: Handling text strings in Kid templates is somewhat easier. If you set the cherrypy configuration setting i18n.run_template_filter to True, all text inside your Kid templates will be passed through _() automatically. So it should be working just out of the box. Any ideas? What am I missing? Later I actually want to use genshi templates - don't know what's the status of i18n there? I figured, I should first try to get it running with kid templates. -Andreas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
