pgettext in jinja2 django templates
I have configured the Jinja environment with env.install_gettext_translations(translation, newstyle=True)
and the jinja2.ext.i18n extension.
I can only use the _
(), _gettext(),
and ngettext()
functions in my jinja2 template.
I also want to use pgettext() (
django docs ) to add context to translatable strings. Is there an extension to do this, or am I missing something?
Update: I’ve posted a feature request#793.
Solution
I don’t believe that what you want exists in Jinja … (at least for now).
If you look at this issue developer pretty much states that he won’t do it:
This would require patches as I’m not using pgettext myself.
Then he closed the issue.
This was created in 2014, and some things may have changed, but I don’t think so (based on another issue).
By searching around, I found this item that might help: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jinja2-django-tags/0.1. There I read:
You can also use _, gettext and pgettext directly:
Simple example: {{ _('Hello World') }} More verbose: {{ gettext('Hello World') }} With context: {{ pgettext('Hello World', 'another example') }}
Good luck 🙂
