I am assuming that you mean "how can I add the language translations from the DB to the .po file dynamically?". That's complicated by the fact that adding to the .po file is not enough -- you will need to compile the .po file and restart the Django application. Translations get loaded only once when the application/server process starts up. If your menu doesn't change at all, you could just add the translations to the .po file manually :) Otherwise, something simple like the following will allow you to get dynamic translations: In your view that renders the menu, grab the value of request.LANGUAGE_CODE and fetch your menu items from the DB based on that language code. Then, send the menu items to your template. You will need to include LocaleMiddleware for this to work as described here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/ If you're not rendering your menus through a view, let us know how you're doing it and there's probably a way to use the above solution with it (middleware, templatetags, ...) -Rajesh D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
