Overview
--------
When dealing with internationalization in JavaScript code, Django provides
the `JSONCatalog view`_ which sends out a JavaScript code library with
functions that mimic the gettext interface, plus an array of translation
strings.
At first glance, it works well and everything is fine. But, because
`JSONCatalog view`_ is generating JavaScript catalog dynamically on each
and every request, it's `adding an overhead`_ that can be an issue with
site growth.
That's what ``django-statici18n`` is for:
Collecting JavaScript catalogs from each of your Django apps (and any
other place you specify) into a single location that can easily be
served in production.
The main website for ``django-statici18n`` is
`github.com/zyegfryed/django-statici18n`_ where you can also file tickets.

Supported Django Versions
-------------------------
``django-statici18n`` works with all the Django versions officially
supported by the Django project. At this time of writing, these are the
4.2 (LTS), 5.0 and 5.1 series.
Installation
------------
1. Use your favorite Python packaging tool to install ``django-statici18n``
from `PyPI`_, e.g.::
pip install django-statici18n
2. Add ``'statici18n'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...
'statici18n',
]
3. Once you have `translated`_ and `compiled`_ your messages, use the
``compilejsi18n`` management command::
python manage.py compilejsi18n
4. Add the `django.core.context_processors.i18n`_ context processor to the
``context_processors`` section for your backend in the ``TEMPLATES``
setting - it should have already been set by Django::
TEMPLATES = [
{
# ...
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': {
# ...
'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
},
},
},
]
5. Edit your template(s) and replace the `dynamically generated script`_ by the
statically generated one:
.. code-block:: html+django
.. note::
By default, the generated catalogs are stored to ``STATIC_ROOT/jsi18n``.
You can modify the output path and more options by tweaking
``django-statici18n`` settings.
**(Optional)**
The following step assumes you're using `django.contrib.staticfiles`_.
5. Edit your template(s) and use the provided template tag:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load statici18n %}
6. Or inline the JavaScript directly in your template:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load statici18n %}
{% inlinei18n LANGUAGE_CODE %}
