Django reverse internalization/localization

Question

This is quite different question. We have a django web application in an European language. Now we want same app in English language.

I guess if I just follow the django internalization/localization steps in reverse order, I will be able to make the app in English (The original code was written by someone else). But I think this is not an optimal way to do it.Is there any better way or ways?

PS. local timezone will be India for now. We plan to add other countries as well in coming days.

Answer 1

There are two parts to reach your desired solution which you have pointed out: internationalization & localization.

internationalization

Preparing the software for localization. Usually done by developers.

localization

Writing the translations and local formats. Usually done by translators.

It's important to note that if the code was not properly structured for localization then the translation will not suffice.

Review the docs for further information.
