<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question on the usage of oslo_i18n._message and hope to get an answer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some background first:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a portion of Glance – the Glance Metadata Definitions (i.e., metadefs) section.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are some fields in the .JSON files which need to be internationalized.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a program which produces glance-json.pot files for the JSON files.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This seems to work:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">import oslo_i18n<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"># Assumes GLANCE_JSON_LOCALEDIR has been set appropriately.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">def translate(message, locale=None):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> obj = oslo_i18n._message.Message(message, domain='glance-json')<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> return oslo_i18n.translate(obj, locale)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"># then in code…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> def _format_namespace_from_db(self, namespace_obj, locale=None):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> …<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> display_name=translate(namespace_obj['display_name'], locale),<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The returned display_name will have the correct version based on the locale passed in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, is this correct usage of oslo_i18n._message()?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or is it to remain hidden since it is not part of oslo_i18n.__init__py?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks and Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
