Internationalization

With django-sitetree it is possible to render different trees for different active locales still addressing them by the same alias from a template.

register_i18n_trees() function registers aliases of internationalized sitetrees. Internationalized sitetrees are those, which are dubbed by other trees having locale identifying suffixes in their aliases.

Let's suppose my_tree is the alias of a generic tree. This tree is the one that we call by its alias in templates, and it is the one which is used if no i18n version of that tree is found.

Given that my_tree_en, my_tree_ru and other my_tree_{locale-id}-like trees are considered internationalization sitetrees. These are used (if available) in accordance with current locale used in project.

Example:

# This code usually belongs to urls.py (or `ready` method of a user defined
# sitetree application config if Django 1.7+).

# First import the register function.
from sitetree.toolbox import register_i18n_trees


# Now register i18n trees.
register_i18n_trees(['my_tree', 'my_another_tree'])

After that you need to create trees for languages supported in your project, e.g.: my_tree_en, my_tree_ru, my_tree_pt-br.

Then when we address my_tree from a template django-sitetree will render an appropriate tree for locale currently active in your project. See activate function from django.utils.translation and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/ for more information.
