FormEncode Internationalization (gettext) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ :author: Gregor Horvath 2006 There are different translation options available: Domain "FormEncode" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for standalone use of FormEncode. The language to use is determined out of the local system (see gettext documentation http://docs.python.org/lib/node733.html). Optionally you can also set the language or the domain explicitly with the function. example: formencode.api.set_stdtranslation(domain="FormEncode", languages=["de"]) The mo files are located in the i18n subdirectory of the formencode installation. state._ ^^^^^^^ A custom _ gettext function provided as attribute of the state object. __builtins__._ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A custom _ gettext function provided in the builtin namespace. This function is only used when: Validator.use_builtin_gettext == True (True is default) Without translation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If no translation mechanism is found a fallback returns the plain string.
