Translation methods for generating localized strings.

To load a locale and generate a translated string:

user_locale = tornado.locale.get("es_LA")
print user_locale.translate("Sign out")

returns the closest matching locale, not necessarily the specific locale you requested. You can support pluralization with additional arguments to , e.g.:

people = [...]
message = user_locale.translate(
    "%(list)s is online", "%(list)s are online", len(people))
print message % {"list": user_locale.list(people)}

The first string is chosen if len(people) == 1, otherwise the second string is chosen.

Applications should call one of (which uses a simple CSV format) or (which uses the .mo format supported by and related tools). If neither method is called, the method will simply return the original string.

tornado.locale.get(*locale_codes)

Returns the closest match for the given locale codes.

We iterate over all given locale codes in order. If we have a tight or a loose match for the code (e.g., “en” for “en_US”), we return the locale. Otherwise we move to the next code in the list.

By default we return en_US if no translations are found for any of the specified locales. You can change the default locale with .

tornado.locale.set_default_locale(code)

Sets the default locale.

The default locale is assumed to be the language used for all strings in the system. The translations loaded from disk are mappings from the default locale to the destination locale. Consequently, you don’t need to create a translation file for the default locale.

tornado.locale.load_translations(directory, encoding=None)

Loads translations from CSV files in a directory.

Translations are strings with optional Python-style named placeholders (e.g., My name is %(name)s) and their associated translations.

The directory should have translation files of the form LOCALE.csv, e.g. es_GT.csv. The CSV files should have two or three columns: string, translation, and an optional plural indicator. Plural indicators should be one of “plural” or “singular”. A given string can have both singular and plural forms. For example %(name)s liked this may have a different verb conjugation depending on whether %(name)s is one name or a list of names. There should be two rows in the CSV file for that string, one with plural indicator “singular”, and one “plural”. For strings with no verbs that would change on translation, simply use “unknown” or the empty string (or don’t include the column at all).

The file is read using the module in the default “excel” dialect. In this format there should not be spaces after the commas.

If no encoding parameter is given, the encoding will be detected automatically (among UTF-8 and UTF-16) if the file contains a byte-order marker (BOM), defaulting to UTF-8 if no BOM is present.

Example translation es_LA.csv:

"I love you","Te amo"
"%(name)s liked this","A %(name)s les gustó esto","plural"
"%(name)s liked this","A %(name)s le gustó esto","singular"

在 4.3 版更改: Added encoding parameter. Added support for BOM-based encoding detection, UTF-16, and UTF-8-with-BOM.

tornado.locale.load_gettext_translations(directory, domain)

Loads translations from ‘s locale tree

Locale tree is similar to system’s /usr/share/locale, like:

{directory}/{lang}/LC_MESSAGES/{domain}.mo

Three steps are required to have you app translated:

  1. Generate POT translation file:

    xgettext --language=Python --keyword=_:1,2 -d mydomain file1.py file2.html etc
  2. Merge against existing POT file:

    msgmerge old.po mydomain.po > new.po
  3. Compile:

    msgfmt mydomain.po -o {directory}/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/mydomain.mo
tornado.locale.get_supported_locales()

Returns a list of all the supported locale codes.

class tornado.locale.Locale(code, translations)

Object representing a locale.

After calling one of or , call or to get a Locale object.

classmethod get_closest(*locale_codes)

Returns the closest match for the given locale code.

classmethod get(code)

Returns the Locale for the given locale code.

If it is not supported, we raise an exception.

translate(message, plural_message=None, count=None)

Returns the translation for the given message for this locale.

If plural_message is given, you must also provide count. We return plural_message when count != 1, and we return the singular form for the given message when count == 1.

format_date(date, gmt_offset=0, relative=True, shorter=False, full_format=False)

Formats the given date (which should be GMT).

By default, we return a relative time (e.g., “2 minutes ago”). You can return an absolute date string with relative=False.

You can force a full format date (“July 10, 1980”) with full_format=True.

This method is primarily intended for dates in the past. For dates in the future, we fall back to full format.

format_day(date, gmt_offset=0, dow=True)

Formats the given date as a day of week.

Example: “Monday, January 22”. You can remove the day of week with dow=False.

list(parts)

Returns a comma-separated list for the given list of parts.

The format is, e.g., “A, B and C”, “A and B” or just “A” for lists of size 1.

friendly_number(value)

Returns a comma-separated number for the given integer.

class tornado.locale.CSVLocale(code, translations)

Locale implementation using tornado’s CSV translation format.

class tornado.locale.GettextLocale(code, translations)

Locale implementation using the module.

pgettext(context, message, plural_message=None, count=None)

Allows to set context for translation, accepts plural forms.

Usage example:

pgettext("law", "right")
pgettext("good", "right")

Plural message example:

pgettext("organization", "club", "clubs", len(clubs))
pgettext("stick", "club", "clubs", len(clubs))

To generate POT file with context, add following options to step 1 of sequence:

xgettext [basic options] --keyword=pgettext:1c,2 --keyword=pgettext:1c,2,3
