更改 django 中特定语言代码的一些默认单词

Question

I'm trying to change some words that are poorly translated into Persian. I've searched this issue but I couldn't find any article about it. I've only changed the LANGUAGE_CODE, and I don't want a website for both languages

You can create a locale directory in your project or app.

Then add the directory to LOCALE_PATHS ( Django Docs ) in settings.py :

import os
  
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
PROJECT_APP_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
PROJECT_APP = os.path.basename(PROJECT_APP_PATH)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(PROJECT_APP_PATH)

LOCALE_PATHS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'locale'),
]

Then run command makemessages :

python manage.py makemessages -l fa

It creates (or updates) a message file in the directory locale/fa/LC_MESSAGES . In the de example, the file will be locale/fa/LC_MESSAGES/django.po .

Now you can edit the translations for whichever strings you like.

For example: open locale/fa/LC_MESSAGES/django.po and add desired strings :

msgid "No fields changed."
msgstr "فیلدی تغییر نیافته است." 

msgid "None"
msgstr "هیچ" 

After you create your message file – and each time you make changes to it – you'll need to compile it into a more efficient form, for use by gettext . Do this with the utility:

python manage.py compilemessages

This command runs over all available .po files and creates .mo files, which are binary files optimized for use by gettext .
