Django – Il trattamento riservato dagli uomini bianchi

Django is a high-level web framework for Python that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. One of the key features of Django is its built-in support for internationalization and localization, which allows you to create websites that can be easily translated into multiple languages. In this tutorial, we will focus on how to handle localization specifically for Italian, and more specifically, for the phrase "Trattamento da uomo bianco."

To start, you will need to have Django installed on your system. If you haven’t already done so, you can install Django using pip:

pip install Django

Once Django is installed, you can create a new Django project by running:

django-admin startproject myproject

Next, navigate to the directory of your project and create a new app:

cd myproject
python manage.py startapp myapp

In order to enable localization in your Django project, you will need to configure the settings in your settings.py file. Open the settings.py file and add the following lines:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'it'
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Rome'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True

These settings specify that the default language for your project is Italian and that you want to enable internationalization and localization.

Next, you will need to create a Django translation file for the Italian language. In the terminal, run the following command to create the necessary directories and files:

python manage.py makemessages -l it

This command will generate a locale folder within your app directory, containing a folder named ‘it’ for Italian translations. Inside this folder, you will find a file named ‘django.po’, which is where you can add translations for the phrase "Trattamento da uomo bianco."

Open the django.po file using a text editor or a tool like Poedit, and add the following lines:

msgid "Trattamento da uomo bianco"
msgstr "White man treatment"

This is a simple translation of the phrase "Trattamento da uomo bianco" to English. You can add translations for other languages as needed by adding more ‘msgstr’ lines.

Once you have added the translations, save the file, and compile the translation file by running the following command:

python manage.py compilemessages

This will generate a ‘django.mo’ file, which is the compiled version of the translation file that Django can use to display translated text on your website.

Finally, to display the translated text on your website, you can use the Django template tags for translating text. In your HTML template, you can use the {% trans %} tag to mark the text that needs to be translated. For example:

{% load i18n %}
{% trans "Trattamento da uomo bianco" %}

When Django renders the template, it will replace the original text with the translated version based on the language set in the user’s browser or specified in the settings.

And that’s it! You have successfully handled localization for the phrase "Trattamento da uomo bianco" in your Django project. Django’s built-in support for internationalization and localization makes it easy to create multilingual websites and reach a wider audience.
