Question

I’m working on a simple python based system that sends a verification email to users.

We have users from all over the planet, thus would like to use a localized email template.

What is the pythonic approach to do this?

I thought about just having each email template in a separate file, and load it up based on the localized request, buuuuuuuuut I want to find out if there is a mo betta approach (or even more ideally a lib that I can just make use of).

Answer 1

You might want to checkout the gettext module for handling language translations of bits of text if you have very complex templates: that would be the Pythonic solution there.

You might also want to check out the locale module.
