web.py 0.3 新手指南 - 实时语言切换

问题:

如何实现实时语言切换？

解法:

• 首先你必须阅读 模板语言中的i18n支持, 然后尝试下面的代码。

文件: code.py

import os
import sys
import gettext
import web

# File location directory.
rootdir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# i18n directory.
localedir = rootdir + '/i18n'

# Object used to store all translations.
allTranslations = web.storage()

def get_translations(lang='en_US'):
    # Init translation.
    if allTranslations.has_key(lang):
        translation = allTranslations[lang]
    elif lang is None:
        translation = gettext.NullTranslations()
    else:
        try:
            translation = gettext.translation(
                    'messages',
                    localedir,
                    languages=[lang],
                    )
        except IOError:
            translation = gettext.NullTranslations()
    return translation

def load_translations(lang):
    """Return the translations for the locale."""
    lang = str(lang)
    translation  = allTranslations.get(lang)
    if translation is None:
        translation = get_translations(lang)
        allTranslations[lang] = translation

        # Delete unused translations.
        for lk in allTranslations.keys():
            if lk != lang:
                del allTranslations[lk]
    return translation

def custom_gettext(string):
    """Translate a given string to the language of the application."""
    translation = load_translations(session.get('lang'))
    if translation is None:
        return unicode(string)
    return translation.ugettext(string)

urls = (
'/', 'index'
)

render = web.template.render('templates/',
        globals={
            '_': custom_gettext,
            }
        )

app = web.application(urls, globals())

# Init session.
session = web.session.Session(app,
        web.session.DiskStore('sessions'),
        initializer={
            'lang': 'en_US',
            }
        )

class index:
    def GET(self):
        i = web.input()
        lang = i.get('lang', 'en_US')

        # Debug.
        print >> sys.stderr, 'Language:', lang

        session['lang'] = lang
        return render.index()

if __name__ == "__main__": app.run()

模板文件: templates/index.html.

$_('Hello')

不要忘记生成必要的po&mo语言文件。参考: 模板语言中的i18n支持

现在运行code.py:

$ python code.py
http://0.0.0.0:8080/

然后用你喜欢的浏览器访问下面的地址，检查语言是否改变:

http://your_server:8080/
http://your_server:8080/?lang=en_US
http://your_server:8080/?lang=zh_CN

你必须:

• 确保语言文件(en_US、zh_CN等)可以动态改变。
• 确保custom_gettext()调用越省资源约好。

参考:

• 这里有使用app.app_processor()的 另一个方案。
