Pyramid Translationstring Not Working On Json Renderer

In a test I am doing in a pyramid application, I am trying to send a translatable text via JSON, but the translation is not working. At the beginning of the file I am importing the

Solution 1:

You need to explicitly translate your message string, using get_localizer() and Localizer.translate():

from pyramid.i18n import get_localizer

@view_config(route_name='transtest', renderer='json')deftranstest_view(request):
    message = _('temp-test', default='Temporary test', domain='myapp')
    return {'myvar': get_localizer(request).translate(message)}

Normally, templates take care of these steps for you, but for JSON you'll need to do so yourself.

You probably want to define a TranslationStringFactory for your project, and reuse that to produce your message strings. Add the following to your project:

from pyramid.i18n importTranslationStringFactorymyapp_domain= TranslationStringFactory(domain='myapp')

then use:

from my.project import myapp_domain as _

# ....

message = _('temp-test', default='Temporary test')
