Django internationalization provides developers with the ability to build web applications and provide content in multiple languages and locales.

Django internationalization provides developers with the ability to build web applications and provide content in multiple languages and locales.

For text translations, the Django developer can accomplish this goal by adding a minimal amount of hooks to Python and templates. These hooks are called translation strings. They tell Django: “This text should be translated into the end user’s language, if a translation for this text is available in that language.”

Internationalization is achieved in three steps:

  1. Embed translation strings in your Python code and templates.
  2. Get translations for those strings, in whichever languages you want to support.
  3. Activate the locale middleware in your Django settings.
