I use the LANG env variable to switch languages in Linux.
e.g.:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
After dApp instantiation i do:
# get LANG from env
currrent_lang = os.getenv("LANG", None)
if currrent_lang != None:
lang, charset = currrent_lang.split('.')
if lang == 'de_DE':
print 'Setting dabo.settings.dateFormat to "%d.%m.%Y"'
dabo.settings.dateFormat = "%d.%m.%Y"
if charset == 'UTF-8': charset = 'UTF8'
print 'Calling app.setLanguage("%s", "%s")' % (lang, charset)
app.setLanguage(lang, charset)
This always worked for my apps.
