Find variables marked for translations

[prabhakar shanmugam]

Hi all,

I am translating a message which is a variable. The variable is dynamic text. It can be from any source like third party api or from the request get/post of user, meaning we won't know the text to be translated.

So at run time when the actual value of the variable is received, and when django tries to look for a translation in the po/mo file, I want to log that, django searched for the message in the msgid's but didn't find one. 

Is this possible. Which django function does the job of actually looking for the word to be translated.

def some_view(request):
    trans1 = ugettext("this will surely get translated")
    trans2 = ugettext(some_variable)

when the view is run I will get the value of some_variable. But since I don't have that in the django.po / .mo file, it wont translate. That is fine and understood, but I want to log the actual value of some_variable when the view runs. With the log, I would translate them later on leisurely.

Hope I have explained it clearly.

My plan (not commenced yet) is to use an on-line translation API. I just
googled "on-line translation api" and see there are quite a few options.
