Internationalization ==================== Deform is fully internationalizable and localizable. :term:`gettext` ``.mo`` files exist in the :mod:`deform` and :mod:`colander` packages which contain (currently incomplete) translations to various languages for the purpose of rendering localized error messages. The following should get you started with ``i18n`` in :mod:`pyramid`: .. code-block:: python import deform from pkg_resources import resource_filename from pyramid.i18n import get_localizer from pyramid.threadlocal import get_current_request def main(global_config, **settings): config = Configurator(settings=settings) config.add_translation_dirs( 'colander:locale', 'deform:locale', ) def translator(term): return get_localizer(get_current_request()).translate(term) deform_template_dir = resource_filename('deform', 'templates/') zpt_renderer = deform.ZPTRendererFactory( [deform_template_dir], translator=translator, ) deform.Form.set_default_renderer(zpt_renderer) See the `Internationalization demo `_ for an example of how Deform error and status messages can be localized. This demonstration uses the `internationalization and localization features of Pyramid `_ to render Deform error messages into :term:`Chameleon` form renderings.
