Hello All,
I have a question on the usage of oslo_i18n._message and hope to get an
answer.
Some background first:
I'm working on a portion of Glance - the Glance Metadata Definitions (i.e.,
metadefs) section.
We have about ~20 .JSON files which hold data. The .JSON files get loaded
into the Glance.metadef_xxx related tables which in turn gets displayed in
Horizon via the glance REST API code.
There are some fields in the .JSON files which need to be internationalized.
I have a program which produces glance-json.pot files for the JSON files.
In Horizon, when they are viewing the data, the end-user may change the
language they wish to see by going into the profile section (upper right
hand corner of Horizon) and selecting the language. So, I need a more
dynamic version of i18n than just the version of i18n that gets started up
when the Glance service is started (i.e., based on GLANCE_LOCALEDIR and
LANGUAGE, LANG, etc., settings).
The API layer can also set a language based on the browser settings. Are the
JSON files being served by the glance API? Or are they in some other way
coming through from glance?
WO: The JSON data is being served by the REST API as far as I know. The
current API doesn't support being passed a locale flag yet though.
I think the idea is to use the existing HTTP headers for describing the
locale, rather than an explicit parameter to the API endpoint.
This seems to work:
import oslo_i18n
# Assumes GLANCE_JSON_LOCALEDIR has been set appropriately.
def translate(message, locale=None):
obj = oslo_i18n._message.Message(message, domain='glance-json')
return oslo_i18n.translate(obj, locale) ...
# then in code...
def _format_namespace_from_db(self, namespace_obj, locale=None):
...
display_name=translate(namespace_obj['display_name'], locale),
The returned display_name will have the correct version based on the locale
passed in.
But, is this correct usage of oslo_i18n._message()?
Or is it to remain hidden since it is not part of oslo_i18n.__init__py?
If it is to remain hidden, then, what would be the better way of getting a
dynamic translation based on some arbitrary locale that is passed in.
If you don't know the answer, but, know someone that might - please pass on
their name(s) and I can try to contact them directly.
Thanks and Regards,
Wayne Okuma
As you surmise, the _message module is marked private (note the _ prefix
on the name), so you shouldn't use it directly. The fact that Message objects
exists is an implementation detail of the lazy translation machinery, and
isn't meant to be something that applications rely on.
You could use oslo_i18n.TranslatorFactory to get a function to wrap your
strings instead [1]. The primary attribute should be what you want.
Passing the return value to translate() would then give you the translated
value.
Something like:
factory = oslo_i18n.TranslatorFactory('glance-json')
trans = factory.primary
def translate(message, locale=None):
return oslo_i18n.translate(trans(message), locale)
This ought to work whether lazy translation is enabled or not, as long as the
catalog files are installed properly.
Doug
WO: The above works for me...Thanks. I'm curious if there will be a version
in which a global set of already opened catalogues will be kept for the
sake of efficiency?
You can hold onto the TranslatorFactory instance to accomplish that, but
we don't have any plans to hide something like that inside the library.
