Chameleon Translate Function SupportΒΆ

translationstring.ChameleonTranslate() is a function which returns a callable suitable for use as the translate argument to various PageTemplate* constructors.

1from chameleon.zpt.template import PageTemplate
2from translationstring import ChameleonTranslate
3from translationstring import Translator
4import gettext

6translations = gettext.translations(...)
7translator = Translator(translations)
8translate = ChameleonTranslate(translate)
9pt = PageTemplate('<html></html>', translate=translate)

The translator provided should be a callable which accepts a single argument translation_string ( a translationstring.TranslationString instance) which returns a unicode object as a translation; usually the result of calling translationstring.Translator(). translator may also optionally be None, in which case no translation is performed (the msgid or default value is returned untranslated).
