setlang using AJAX

[Luca Casagrande]

Hello everybody,
I'd like to use an AJAX request without any form to change the
language of my site.
My problem is that I haven't found a way to avoid the csrf_token
error..
How can I generate the token without any form?

The other way it to use setlang with a GET request but, according to
docs, this seems no more possible.

Thanks for your support.
Luca

hi,

but you have to reload the whole page anyway or you want only part of
the page to be translated?
There's a way to change language without form.

Hi Radovan,
this code should go on a web page before the real application.
Basically I'd like to have the user click on a flag representing the
language and load the real site with the appropriate language.

Thanks

Hi Luca,

this is what i had on my site:

<ul class="language-bar">
{% ifequal LANGUAGE_CODE 'sk' %}
<li><span class="lb-sk">{% trans 'Slovak' %}</span></li>
<li><a class="lb-en" href="#en" title="{% trans 'English' %}">{%
trans 'English' %}</a></li>
{% else %}
<li><a class="lb-sk" href="#sk" title="{% trans 'Slovak' %}">{%
trans 'Slovak' %}</a></li>
<li><span class="lb-en">{% trans 'English' %}</span></li>
{% endifequal %}
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.language-bar a').click(function(){
$.post('/i18n/setlang/', {language:$(this).attr('href').split('#')
[1], next:"{{request.path}}" },function(data)
{top.location.href="{{request.path}}";});
return false;
});
</script>

Maybe it is not the best solution, but it's much nicer than
selectboxes. It reloads the whole page,but it's not a problem adjust
it to your needs.

Thank you very much, for your help and your code.
The problem is that the POST request is missing the csrf_token and so
I have got a 403 Error.
Have you got the same problem?

Thx
Luca

this problem before.

You could simply add 

csrfmiddlewaretoken: document.getElementsByName('csrfmiddlewaretoken')[0].value,

to the parameters on $.post. That would surely prevent the 403.
