Avoid generating translation terms for terms already available in Django framework

↑ Parent: Python Utils

← Previous: Validators

Every time you add a new term to translate, check if it's not already provided by the Django Framework, to avoid adding more work to our translators when the terms don't need to be transated again.

If it is, add it in or create a file ${PROJECT}/django_translated.py like so:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from magi.django_translated import t

t.update({
    'Japanese': _('Japanese'),
})

When you want to use the term, do:

from .django_translated import t

print t['Japanese']

When generating the terms, make sure you don't include the terms in this file:

python manage.py makemessages ... --ignore=${PROJECT}/django_translated.py
