Setup Translation in a Template

[Stefan Messmer]

I should translate some small pieces of text in a template. How can I setup translation to make the function T(text) working correctly? I use a copy of the _scaffold app as starting point.

Many thanks and best regards

As far as i can tell, the "intended" way is using the Inject fixture to inject T into the template rendering context, which you need to do for each controller which has a template that needs access to T.

But since thats very annoying, i chose the very not ideal workaround of

from py4web.core import HELPERS as TEMPLATE_VARS

TEMPLATE_VARS["T"] = T

which WILL break if you run more than 1 app that tries to do this through a single py4web instance, but since i will never do that it works. (i strongly believe each application should be an isolated python process, perhaps even its own docker container)

I agree with you that this is dangerous. i thought about the notion of a per app dictionary of common vars to inject but I think it would add complexity. I think it is better practice to introduce your own custom decorator that all the common operations you want such as auth, DB, T, injections, etc.

i am away from the computer this week but I will have lots of time for py4web after that. :-)

Thanks for your advice. I decided to use the Inject fixture. This works fine...
