POGrammatical cases in multi-site Django deployments
text
Body
copied!<p>I am deploying a single Django project for managing a certain kind of an event. There are two deployments with a single database, the sites are in Slovak. They are for events called „Akadémia Trojstenu“ and „Klub Trojstenu“. The simple part is I can just use the <code>sites</code> framework, set the display name for each site accordingly and use that in my templates where I need to refer to the name of the event.</p> <p>This looks all right up until you realize the Slovak language uses grammatical cases. That means, in some places I need to write „Program Akadémie Trojstenu“ / „Program Klubu Trojstenu“ or „Staré Akadémie“ / „Staré Kluby“ for example.</p> <p>For example, consider the following piece of template code:</p> <pre><code><link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Novinky pre {{ site.name }}" href="{% url "news_feed" %}" /> </code></pre> <p><code>site.name</code> contains „Akadémia Trojstenu“, but in this case I need it to output „Novinky pre Akadémiu Trojstenu“, i.e. the content of the variable in the fourth grammatical case.</p> <p>The only way forward I see at this moment is to special-case all such occurrences in the templates, look at the current site's domain and output the correct grammatical case of the name. This solution is obviously heavily anti-DRY, hideous and will eat small children.</p> <p>Does anyone have a better suggestion? Is there some kind of standard solution? I imagine there are lots of languages using grammar cases and there's certainly someone who encountered this problem before me.</p>
