i18n json catalog

[Manolo Gabriel Ramirez Torrico]

Hi all,

I would like to contribute with this feature, you can see the proposal in #22404.

If you agree with the idea I could start writing the documentation.

Regards,

Hi all,

Sorry if I didn't explain myself clearly, I will try to do it better. It will be nice to contribute something to Django.

What I a propose is to provide a view to retrieve the i18n translations catalog as JSON, this is something that was requested in the ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22404 It could be useful for third party applications and client libraries.

The JSON response of the view will have the form:

{
//translations catalog
catalog:{
    //a simple translation entry
    'translate this':'traduce esto',

    //translation with plural form
    'one plural sample': [  
        'un ejemplo de plural',
        'muchos ejemplos de plural'
    ]
},

//expression for the plural index
//when null -> 'n>1?1:0'
plural: null,

//formats used by the locale
formats: {
    "DATETIME_FORMAT": "N j, Y, P",
    "DATE_FORMAT": "N j, Y",
    "DECIMAL_SEPARATOR": ".",
    ...
}
}

These are basically the 3 elements used by the javascript functions of the i18n view javascript_catalog to perform the translations.

Please, let me know what do you think.
