django-admin-multilang

A very simple Django application that adds the ability on the admin page to select a language manually.

How to install

• Install using pip:

      pip install django-admin-multilang
  

How to configure

• Add package to INSTALLED_APPS (above of django.contrib.admin):

      INSTALLED_APPS = [
        'admin_multilanguage',
        'django.contrib.admin',
        'django.contrib.auth',
        'django.contrib.contenttypes',
        'django.contrib.sessions',
        'django.contrib.messages',
        'django.contrib.staticfiles',
        ...
    ]
  

• In urlpatterns.py where is located settings.py, add this followed line:

      urlpatterns += [
          path('', include('admin_multilanguage.urls', namespace="admin_multilanguage")),
      ]
  

• Configure in settings.py which languages you want to support (Example):

      from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
      
      LANGUAGES = (
          ('lv', _("Latvian")),
          ('en', _("English")),
          ('ru', _("Russian")),
      )
      
      # language to select by default
      LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
  

• Also you need to add this line to MIDDLEWARE to enable localization based on sessions in Django:

      MIDDLEWARE = [
           ...
          'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
           ...
      ]
  

• Make sure I18N and Sessions enabled as well
