Beautiful one liner. I have to write an ugly hack to make it work. I
was forcing the translations because I need to translate certain
sections only.
def babel(lang, s):
# forced translation of Q&A section
T.force(lang)
if type(s)==list:
loc_string=[]
for i in s:
loc_string.append(str(T(i)))
else:
loc_string=str(T(s))
T.set_current_languages('en') # reset to English
return loc_string
and in my controller:
my_dialog=babel(session.locale, question['dialog'])
my_choices=babel(session.locale, question['choices'])
form=SQLFORM.factory(
Field('english', writable=False, default=question['dialog']),
Field('translation', writable=False, default=my_dialog,
label=settings.locale[session.locale]),
Field('answer','list:string',
default=answer_value,
requires=IS_IN_SET(question['choices'], my_choices, zero=None,
multiple=True)))
