Change language

[ogurec-ogurec]

How can I change the language? For example, in Russian. In the settings added:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ru'

LANGUAGES = (
    ('ru', 'Russian'),
)

Added 1 a file django.po (rus) to the folder:

..\Lib\site-packages\django_comments_xtd\locale\ru\LC_MESSAGES\django.po

Restarted the server, but nothing has changed.

You have to use the compilemessages command of Django. Read the Internationalization page of the docs: here. Remember that the JavaScript plugin uses its own djangojs.po as oppose to the django.po used by the backend.

There's already a django.po for Russian in django-comments-xtd. It was added by @MikerStudio a month ago. However there's no translation for the plugin yet.

On changing the language, if you want your site to be in Russian, change the LANGUAGE_CODE setting in your settings.py module:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ru'

If you want to support multiple languages, I recommend you to read the pages under the Internationalization topic in the office Django site, it's a lot, but it's worth reading. You can also see how it is done in the example comp site that comes with django-comments-xtd:

• In your settings.py module:
  • Add the LANGUAGES setting and LANGUAGE_CODE (as you do already, but add more languages).
  • Add USE_I18N = True
• In your urls.py module:
  • Add re_path(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n'))
• In your templates:
  • Search and follow the word LANGUAGE in base.html in the comp project.
