Translation of the navbar

[Mr. Electronic]

Hi

I trying to create my first web2py web site with login and because the
page will be in danish. I'm working with the languages files. The only
thing I have not been able to translate at the moment is the Welcome
in the navbar. The rest logout, login, profile, password, etc.
translates without any problems at all but I can't translate the
Welcome.

The word Welcome does not show up in the languages files, I have tried
to add the line 'Welcome':'Velkommen' but that didn't solve the
problem.

Is the Welcome missing a T('Welcome') in the auth module?

did you try edit the layout and replace it with

{{=auth.navbar(prefix=T("Welcome")}}

Hi

Thanks, that solved the problem. Still a beginner in web2py.

A small patch in tools.py is also possible, the rest of the navbar-
function is neatly internationalized. There is a minimal downside: if
someone would call navbar with a translated string instead of T("a
greeting") as in the above suggestion this text would show up in de
language files at the LHS.

def navbar(self,prefix='Welcome',action=None):
request = self.environment.request
T = self.environment.T
if not action:
action=URL(request.application,request.controller,'user')
if prefix:
prefix = prefix.strip()+' '

change last line to

prefix = T(prefix.strip())+' '

I think the 'if' test will always be true due to the default value as
parameter.

I'll sent the patch separately
