Django Languages Plus

django-languages-plus provides models and fixtures for working with both common languages and 'culture codes' or locale codes, like pt-BR.

Note that this is only a small (but popular) subset of all living languages, and is not even a comprehensive set of the ISO 639 languages. It does however include the endonym/autonym/exonym.

The Language model contains all ISO 639-1 languages and related information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

The model provides the following fields (original wikipedia.org column name in parentheses).

  • name_en (ISO Language Name)
  • name_native (Native Name)
  • iso_639_1 (639-1)
  • iso_639_2T = (639-2/T)
  • iso_639_2B = (639-2/B)
  • iso_639_3 = (639-3)
  • family = (Language Family)
  • countries_spoken

Installation

pip install django-languages-plus

Usage

  1. Add languages_plus and countries_plus to your INSTALLED_APPS.

  2. Migrate your database and load the language data fixture:

    python manage.py migrate
    python manage.py loaddata languages_data.json.gz
    
  3. In your code use:

    from languages_plus.models import Language
    lang = Language.objects.get(iso_639_1='en')
    

Generating Culture Codes (ex: pt_BR)

django-countries-plus(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-countries-plus) is an explicit requirement, and should be installed automatically when installing languages-plus. When both packages are installed correctly you can run the following command once to associate the two datasets and generate a list of culture codes (pt_BR for example):

from languages_plus.utils import associate_countries_and_languages
associate_countries_and_languages()

Requirements

django-countries-plus >= 1.

Django: Tested against the LTS versions of 3, 4, and the latest of 5. Python 3

Running Tests

Does the code actually work?
