requires=IS_IN_SET translate?

[Ruud Schroen]

Hi,

Is it possible to translate the strings inside requires=IS_IN_SET?

For example i have

requires=IS_IN_SET(('Allowed','Not allowed'))

Now i'd like to translate "Allowed" and "Not allowed"

[Leonel Câmara]

yes, 

requires=IS_IN_SET([('Allowed', T('Allowed')), ('Not allowed', T('Not allowed'))])

[黄祥]

requires=IS_IN_SET([('Allowed', T('Allowed')), ('Not allowed', T('Not allowed'))])

another way around to achieve it is

requires = IS_IN_SET({T('Allowed'), T('Not allowed') } )

p.s.

please ensure if you use translate version in the conditional logic (if), please also put the translation on it. e.g.

if db.employee.access == T('Allowed'):

if you don't put the translation (T()) in the conditonal, the result always return false, because the data in table is in translate version, yet you compare it with non translate version.

best regards,

stifan

Stifan, I'm sorry but that seems like a terrible way to do it as you would have different values in the database depending on the language of the user, and, even worse, you could have different values for the same thing for the same user if you start without a translation in his language and then add one. So, comparisons like the one in your example can actually stop working; you could add a field to the table so you could remember what language each row was submitted with, but that seems a bit convoluted to my primate brain.

Would this work?

The IS_IN_SET validator allows to list the options as a dictionary (http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators?search=IS_IN_SET)

Therefore, for an example, you could do:

def index(): 
   options = {'Apple':T('Apple'),'Banana':T('Banana'),'Cherry':T('Cherry')}
   form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('fruit',requires=IS_IN_SET(options,zero=None)))
   if form.accepts(request, session):
       selected = options[form.vars.fruit]
       saved = form.vars.fruit
       response.flash='selected %s in drop down list, saved %s in db' %(selected, saved)
   return dict(form=form)

This would work. Yet it will not preserve the order in the list of options. To preserve the order replace

 options = {'Apple':T('Apple'),'Banana':T('Banana'),'Cherry':T('Cherry')}

with

 options = (('Apple',T('Apple')), ('Banana',T('Banana')), ('Cherry',T('Cherry')))

Works like a charm, thanks Massimo!
