do you do run time string replacement or do you maintain separate
copies of html files for each language? the former is non-
performant, the latter is a maintenance nightmare unless you have a
single source of truth that's compiled to each language version
string replacement is handled by python's gettext module so it is
runtime replacement from the compiled .mo file. All content is pulled
from the database, so, for example, I have a table like this:
create table article(
id serial primary key,
title varchar(100)
...
matter text
)
then the language tables:
create table langarticle(
id serial primary key,
art_id foreignkey to article(id)
lang_id foreigngkey to languages(id)
title - varchar(100)
matter - text
)
and depending on the language setting, the appropriate file is pulled
out of the database and sent to the template
