I'm working on a Plone 4 product, starting from Martin's excellent
dexterity development manual
(http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/developer-manua
l).
My problem is I can't seem to get all strings translated. The product
contains a dexterity-based content type, for which translatations are
working fine. The translation file is in the i18n/ dir.
The product also contains a page view (Products.Five.BrowserView), which
is unrelated to the content type. Calling '_(u"label_whatever",
default="Some message")' from the view class only returns the
'label_whatever', even if i submit strings which are translated well
otherwise. I've tested this by putting a pdb break in one the view method
of interest.
'_' is the same messagefactory the content type uses, it's simply
zope.i18nmessageid.MessageFactory("my_i18n_domain"). The '_domain'
attribute appears to be set correctly.
I don't know why _() doesn't work. Did you try to use i18n:* attributes
in the template?
I've browsed through
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/version/upgrading-plo
ne-3-x-to-4.0/updating-add-on-products-for-plone-4.0/referencemanual-all-
pages and the code examples in
http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/100277 to find an alternative
way to do it. However, using zope.i18n.translate didn't work for me,
which may also be of interest:
(Pdb) from zope.i18n import translate
(Pdb) translate('no_url', 'my_i18n_domain', context=self.context)
*** TypeError: ('Could not adapt', <PloneSite at /plone>, <InterfaceClass
zope.i18n.interfaces.IUserPreferredLanguages>)
The kwarg "context" in translate has a misleading name. The context of
translate has to be a request object::
translate('no_url', 'my_i18n_domain', context=self.request)
