Can't retrieve translation about python-i18n HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

Not the maintainer but was facing the same issue. Switching to json worked for me (see python-i18n/i18n/tests/resources/translations/en.json for an example).

You will need to set

i18n.set('file_format', 'json')
i18n.set('filename_format', '{locale}.{format}')

and finally of course
i18n.load_path.append('path/to/translations/folder')

for this to work.

I would however be really interested in the correct YAML solution which I couldn't get to work either.

from python-i18n.

I actually achieved to make it work with YAML. By default, python-i18n uses YAML for external files. I just removed the i18n.set format thingy.

Also, I struggled a little bit with the path structure (and It's not that easy to find the issue because if the code does not find the right translation, It will print you the path that you're searching and not something like "Error translation not found" ^^)

Here is my code:

i18n.load_path.append('template')
i18n.set('locale', countrycode)
subject = i18n.t(f'{countrycode}.mail.subject', filename=filename)
body = i18n.t(f'{countrycode}.mail.body', filename=filename, error=i18n.t(f'{countrycode}.error.{errorcode}'))

And my paths structured like this:
template/en/mail.en.yml

from python-i18n.

In my case was that I didn't install pyyaml. With it, works as @clmnt-sg said. Without it, works as @fabianjs suggested.
