"""Localisation.py - provide translations of strings into local
language
::
%s
Introduction
------------
Some of the pywws modules, such as WindRose.py, can automatically use
your local language for such things as wind directions. The
Localisation.py module, mostly copied from examples in the Python
documentation, enables this.
Localisation of pywws is done in two parts - translating strings such
as 'rising very rapidly', and changing the 'locale' which controls
things like month names and number representation (e.g. '23,2' instead
of '23.2'). On some computers it may not be possible to set the
locale, but translated strings can still be used.
Using a different language
--------------------------
The language used by pywws is set in the ``[config]`` section of the
``weather.ini`` file. This can be a two-letter language code, such as
``en`` (English), or can specify a national variant, such as ``fr_CA``
(Canadian French). It could also include a character set, for example
``de_DE.UTF-8``.
The choice of language is very system dependant, so Localisation.py
can be run as a standalone program to test language codes. A good
starting point might be your system's ``LANG`` environment variable,
for example::
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$ python -m pywws.Localisation -t en_GB.UTF-8
Locale changed from (None, None) to ('en_GB', 'UTF8')
Translation set OK
Locale
decimal point: 23.2
date & time: Friday, 14 October (14/10/11 13:02:00)
Translations
'NNW' => 'NNW'
'rising very rapidly' => 'rising very rapidly'
'Rain at times, very unsettled' => 'Rain at times, very unsettled'
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$
In most cases no more than a two-letter code is required::
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$ python -m pywws.Localisation -t fr
Locale changed from (None, None) to ('fr_FR', 'UTF8')
Translation set OK
Locale
decimal point: 23,2
date & time: vendredi, 14 octobre (14/10/2011 13:04:44)
Translations
'NNW' => 'NNO'
'rising very rapidly' => 'en hausse très rapide'
'Rain at times, very unsettled' => 'Quelques précipitations, très perturbé'
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$
If you try an unsupported language, pywws falls back to English::
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$ python -m pywws.Localisation -t ja
Failed to set locale: ja
No translation file found for: ja
Locale
decimal point: 23.2
date & time: Friday, 14 October (10/14/11 13:08:49)
Translations
'NNW' => 'NNW'
'rising very rapidly' => 'rising very rapidly'
'Rain at times, very unsettled' => 'Rain at times, very unsettled'
jim@brains:~/Documents/weather/pywws/code$
Once you've found a suitable language code that works, you can
configure pywws to use it by editing your ``weather.ini`` file::
[config]
language = fr
Creating a new translation
--------------------------
If there is no translation file for your preferred language then you
need to create one. See :doc:`../guides/language` for detailed
instructions.
