Summary

In this chapter, you learned the basics of the internationalization and localization of Django projects. You marked code and template strings for translation, and you discovered how to generate and compile translation files. You also installed Rosetta in your project to manage translations through a web interface. You translated URL patterns, and you created a language selector to allow users to switch the language of the site. Then, you used django-parler to translate models, and you used django-localflavor to validate localized form fields.

In the next chapter, you will start a new Django project that will consist of an e-learning platform. You will create the application models, and you will learn how to create and apply fixtures to provide initial data for the models. You will build a custom model field and use it in your models. You will also build authentication views for your new application.
