I hope someone could help me. My main language is Spanish but when I write
code I like it to be en english. Being that way it will be easier to open
source something in the future. The main problem is the app name in the
Admin Site.
For example, I'm writing a kind of eCommerce site without the ability to
make transactions (or buy) online. So it's more like a product
catalog/catalogue. For that reason I created a catalog app with the desired
modules, etc. When I configure the admin site then, I have the Catalog
section with the CRUD for the models but, as my main language is Spanish,
my clients also read Spanish so instead of "Catalog" it should say
"Catálogo".
I've read the documentation and googled a lot and find some "solutions" but
they were pretty old. The most promising was to modify the admin site
templates and put something like the following on the __init__.py file:
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_noop as _
_('Catalog')
That way the makemessages would pick the string and then I could translate
it. Well, it didn't work.
I found that the templates have some translation applied to them but I then
realized that the app.name isn't translated but the surroundings are
(https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/index.html).
The app.name is just a string interpolation.
Have been any progress regarding this subject? Have anyone had to deal with
something like this? Can I change the app name in some way or the
app_label? What's the difference? How should approach it? Isn't somewhere a
verbose_name for apps or something? Even if it's hard coded, with no
translation.
Thank you in advance for your time.
