You can make the view dynamic by putting the packages into the URL pattern::
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^jsi18n/(?P<packages>\S+?)/$, 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog'),
(r'^jsi18n/(?P<packages>\S+?)/$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog'),
)
With this, you specify the packages as a list of package names delimited by '+'

document.write(gettext('this is to be translated'));
There even is a ``ungettext`` interface and a string interpolation function::
There is also an ``ngettext`` interface::
var object_cnt = 1 // or 0, or 2, or 3, ...
s = ngettext('literal for the singular case',
'literal for the plural case', object_cnt);
and even a string interpolation function::
function interpolate(fmt, obj, named);
The interpolation syntax is borrowed from Python, so the ``interpolate``
function supports both positional and named interpolation:
* Positional interpolation: ``obj`` contains a JavaScript Array object
whose elements values are then sequentially interpolated in their
corresponding ``fmt`` placeholders in the same order they appear.
For example::
fmts = ngettext('There is %s object. Remaining: %s',
'There are %s objects. Remaining: %s', 11);
s = interpolate(fmts, [11, 20]);
// s is 'There are 11 objects. Remaining: 20'
* Named interpolation: This mode is selected by passing the optional
boolean ``named`` parameter as true. ``obj`` contains a JavaScript
object or associative array. For example::
d = {
count: 10
total: 50
};
s = interpolate(ungettext('this is %(count)s object', 'this are %(count)s objects', d.count), d);
The ``interpolate`` function supports both positional interpolation and named
interpolation. So the above could have been written as::
fmts = ngettext('Total: %(total)s, there is %(count)s object',
'there are %(count)s of a total of %(total)s objects', d.count);
s = interpolate(fmts, d, true);
s = interpolate(ungettext('this is %s object', 'this are %s objects', 11), [11]);
The interpolation syntax is borrowed from Python. You shouldn't go over the top
with string interpolation, though: this is still JavaScript, so the code will
have to do repeated regular-expression substitutions. This isn't as fast as
string interpolation in Python, so keep it to those cases where you really
need it (for example, in conjunction with ``ungettext`` to produce proper
pluralizations).
