I'm learning to Jinja2 and what's important in this case isn't speed but i18n translations and functionality. With Python 2.7, Jinja2 and not Django seems to preferred way to go, so I'm rewriting much of my project to use Jinja2 templates. We already had plenty of translations in .mo and .po files and wanted to keep use of those and we also want to make use of django's translation package. I found a way to use the Django translation libraries with Jinja2.
Could you review this code and comment if I can use it this way? My SDK is Google App Engine.
import jinja2
from django.utils import translation
from django.utils.translation import gettext, ngettext, ugettext, ungettext, get_language, activate
class DjangoTranslator(object):
def __init__(self):
self.gettext = gettext
self.ngettext = ngettext
self.ugettext = ugettext
self.ungettext = ungettext
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
class DjangoEnvironment(jinja2.Environment):
def get_translator(self, context):
return DjangoTranslator()
jinja_environment = DjangoEnvironment(
loader=jinja2.FileSystemLoader(os.path.dirname(__file__)), extensions=['jinja2.ext.i18n'])
jinja_environment.install_gettext_translations(translation)
