When the catalog is loaded, your JavaScript code can use the following methods:

``gettext``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``gettext`` function behaves similarly to the standard ``gettext``
|
||||||
|
interface within your Python code::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
document.write(gettext('this is to be translated'));
|
document.write(gettext('this is to be translated'));
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is also an ``ngettext`` interface::
|
``ngettext``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``ngettext`` function provides an interface to pluralize words and
|
||||||
|
phrases::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
var object_cnt = 1 // or 0, or 2, or 3, ...
|
var object_cnt = 1 // or 0, or 2, or 3, ...
|
||||||
s = ngettext('literal for the singular case',
|
s = ngettext('literal for the singular case',
|
||||||
'literal for the plural case', object_cnt);
|
'literal for the plural case', object_cnt);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
and even a string interpolation function::
|
``interpolate``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
function interpolate(fmt, obj, named);
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

The ``interpolate`` function supports dynamically populating a format string.

|
``get_format``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``get_format`` function has access to the configured i18n formatting
|
||||||
|
settings and can retrieve the format string for a given setting name::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
document.write(get_format('DATE_FORMAT'));
|
||||||
|
// 'N j, Y'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It has access to the following settings:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`DATE_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`DATE_INPUT_FORMATS`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`MONTH_DAY_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`NUMBER_GROUPING`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`SHORT_DATE_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`TIME_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`TIME_INPUT_FORMATS`
|
||||||
|
* :setting:`YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is useful for maintaining formatting consistency with the Python-rendered
|
||||||
|
values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``gettext_noop``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This emulates the ``gettext`` function but does nothing, returning whatever
|
||||||
|
is passed to it::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
document.write(gettext_noop('this will not be translated'));
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is useful for stubbing out portions of the code that will need translation
|
||||||
|
in the future.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``pgettext``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``pgettext`` function behaves like the Python variant
|
||||||
|
(:func:`~django.utils.translation.pgettext()`), providing a contextually
|
||||||
|
translated word::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
document.write(pgettext('month name', 'May'));
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``npgettext``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``npgettext`` function also behaves like the Python variant
|
||||||
|
(:func:`~django.utils.translation.npgettext()`), providing a **pluralized**
|
||||||
|
contextually translated word::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
document.write(npgettext('group', 'party', 1));
|
||||||
|
// party
|
||||||
|
document.write(npgettext('group', 'party', 2));
|
||||||
|
// parties
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``pluralidx``
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ``pluralidx`` function works in a similar way to the :tfilter:`pluralize`
|
||||||
|
template filter, determining if a given ``count`` should use a plural form of
|
||||||
|
a word or not::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
document.write(pluralidx(0));
|
||||||
|
// true
|
||||||
|
document.write(pluralidx(1));
|
||||||
|
// false
|
||||||
|
document.write(pluralidx(2));
|
||||||
|
// true
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the simplest case, if no custom pluralization is needed, this returns
|
||||||
|
``false`` for the integer ``1`` and ``true`` for all other numbers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, pluralization is not this simple in all languages. If the language does
|
||||||
|
not support pluralization, an empty value is provided.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, if there are complex rules around pluralization, the catalog view
|
||||||
|
will render a conditional expression. This will evaluate to either a ``true``
|
||||||
|
(should pluralize) or ``false`` (should **not** pluralize) value.
