Question

I am doing internationalisation in django admin.I am able to convert all my text to the specific langauge.But i m not able to change the ‘app’ name

suppose

django-admin.py startapp test

this will create a app called test inside my project.Inside this app ‘test’ i can create many classes in my model.py file.But when i register my app ‘test’ in settings.py file.I am convert all the text in the locale of my browser but my app heading ‘test’ is not getting changed.How to change that any idea?

Answer 1

this is a well known problem in django and there is a ticket since 2006

a workaround for this would be to place all the appnames (with upper und lower-case) manually in your *.po-file.

to ensure django-admin will catch this, Replaced this:

    <caption> 
       <a href="{{ app.app_url }}" class="section"> 
            {% blocktrans with app.name as name %}{{ name }}{% endblocktrans %} 
        </a> 
   </caption> 

with this:

  <caption>
     <a href="{{ app.app_url }}" class="section">{% trans app.name %}</a>
  </caption> 

maybe this snippet would help too?
