Use the package manager pip to install django-i18n
pip3 install django-i18nBefore using library, you need setup some things in your django project, please follow this steps
- Setup all required variables in your settings.py
LOCALE = 'es' # Mandatory
LOCALE_FALLBACK = 'en' # Optional, default = 'en'
LOCALES = ['es'] # Mandatory
LOCALES_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locales') # Optional, default path './locales' folder
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_i18n',
...
]- After that, you need create a locales folder (Setted in LOCALES_PATH variable in your settings.py), inside your folder you need some yml files with EXACT names as you setted in LOCALES variable, next you can see an example

title: "An incredible title"
content: "Hello %{name}"from django_i18n.tools import translate, set_locale, handle_orm_errors
translate("my.title")
# OR
translate('my.content', name='World')
# Set locale
set_locale(locale="en", fallback="es") # Fallback is optional, default value is 'en'
# Handle ORM errors

#as_json return dict as json string{% load t from django_i18n %}
<html>
<head>
