Make strings inside trans tag uppercased

Question

In my template, sometimes I want to make the translated string passed through upper filter. For example, I want to display "Related Links" as "RELATED LINKS". However when I tried, e.g:

{% trans "Related links"|upper %}

TemplateSyntaxError would be thrown. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Just use:

{% trans "Related links" as rel %}{{ rel|upper }}

This saves the translation temporarily in a variable which then can be used to apply filters on it.

Answer 2

Since Django 1.10, you can avoid aliases and just use:

{% trans "Related links"|upper %}
