Hi all,
About two years ago atlithorn posted some code to get the language for a page from the URL. I have extended it and made it into a Django application. Basically, it allows you to have URLs like 'http:// www.example.com/nl/about/". It is located at: http://www.cassee.org/trac/wiki/LocaleUrl That webpage also has complete docs. I am looking for comments on two coding decision I made. 1) Monkey patching urlresolvers.reverse I wanted to be able to use existing applications without having to change their urls.py module. So the middleware strips off the language prefix before handing it to the URL resolver. However, this means that the urlresolvers.reverse function (and the url template tag) will not return the correct URL. To solve this I let my application monkey patch (replace) the urlresolvers.reverse function. Is there a better way? 2) Forcing explicit re.comple('/path/') entries in LOCALE_INDEPENDENT_PATHS This settings variable is a tuple holding a list of paths that are not language dependent. They are regular expressions and because they will be used often they should not be compiled at every request. Because the settings variables should not be changed (even at compile time, I guess) I am now forcing the user to specify them explicitly as regular expression objects. This looks a bit ugly in settings.py. (See the example on the webpage.) Is there a better way? The application currently only works for language specification on the URL path, not for example the hostname (for example: http://fr.example/com/about/). I might add this functionality if anyone asks. I hope this is useful. Any comments, bug, discussion, etc. are very welcome.
