Flask Babel
Implements i18n and l10n support for Flask. This is based on the Python babel module as well as pytz both of which are installed automatically for you if you install this library.
Documention
The latest documentation is available here.
It would be nice to be able to stash the current language somewhere and use another one for a while during a request execution.
The main use-case I see is sending out emails with Flask-Email. The email should be translated according to the recipient's language and not the current user's language.
Something like:
from flaskext.babel import stash, unstash
# do stuff with current user's language
print _('foo')
# Now switch to th recipient language
stash(new_lang=recipient.language)
send email with i18n tags
unstash()
# Now the language is back to the current user's lang
Well the API is terrible, but you get the idea..
This allows to specify in which folder the translations should be looked for instead of having it hardcoded (still defaults to "translations").
This is done either via a folder
param passed to the constructor or via the BABEL_TRANSLATIONS_FOLDER
configuration variable.

There should be a short introduction in how to use gettext, trans etc in Jinja the jkji2 templates - it's not obvious from the docs that the jinja2 i18n ext is used and that the user does not need to configure this separately.
This fixes issue #117 by setting babel_locale
in force_locale
context manager instead of replacing locale getter. Babel extension instance is shared across threads (through Flask.extensions
) which may cause wrong locale to be selected in request that is processed at the same time in one thread while another thread is using force_locale
. Setting locale to request context is thread-safe as Flask doesn't share request contexts between threads. I've added a test case to verify that this fix works, and it failed without changes to force_locale
.
Right now Flask breaks if you request content in a locale that is unknown by Babel even if the translation files actually exist.
This commit allows translations to be loaded even if the locale is unknown by Babel. Numbers and datetimes ~are returned directly~ use the default locale as a fallback.
I am getting a:
'Babel' object has no attribute 'translation_directories'
error after updating Flask-Babel from 0.9 to 0.11.1.
I found a similar reference at https://github.com/airbnb/superset/issues/847 which claims the issue was flask extension compatibility related.
I have been looking for any sort of documentation that indicates what flask extensions have compatibility with one another, is it just assumed that the minor version (major.minor.build) must match to be compatible?
Here are my current application versions that are having the issue:
Babel (2.3.4) Flask (0.11.1) Flask-Babel (0.11.1) Flask-BabelEx (0.9.3) Flask-Compress (1.3.2) Flask-Login (0.4.0) itsdangerous (0.24) Jinja2 (2.8) MarkupSafe (0.23) pytz (2016.7) setuptools (28.8.0) speaklater (1.3) Werkzeug (0.11.11)
Again, all works with version 0.9 of flask-babel, just trying to understand if compatibility is the root cause or is there a real issue lurking.
I use flask_script (and flask_migrate) to migrate my sql schema. Since version 0.10 i got this error. Everything works well with 0.9

Hi, all. I have two subprocesses. one for flask web(called web.py), and one for some background tasks(called task.py). flask-babel works inside the web context, but also the task subprocess will need some translations. so, I import web app into the task.py and use the app.test_request_context in order to make translations work for me. it works at first but then I found task.py will also get the default language only. here is the web.py:
app.config['BABEL_DEFAULT_LOCALE'] = 'en'
babel = Babel(app)
@babel.localeselector
def get_locale():
return request.accept_languages.best_match(['zh', 'en'])
task.py
from web import app
def task():
try:
with app.test_request_context() as ctx:
sio.emit('loading', {'data': _("please wait a moment.")})
....
so how can I get the correct locale before I return the translation?? TIA :)
I have a base.html file and navbar.html file. The navbar.html is included in base.html and base extended in other templates. The problem is that babel does not extract strings from navbar.html even though i can see it read it.

What could be the problem?
I have some words in 3's f-Strings sql code. such as
s = f"""
SELECT * FROM aa
balabala ...
case bala...
{_("abc")}
WHERE b=1
"""
after I excute the order
$ pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -o messages.pot .
but I cannot find the words 'abc' from file messages.pot
If I have html file content like
<html>
{% cache 3600, request.url %}
<tag>{{ _('h1') }}</tag>
{% endcache %}
</html>
And run
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _l -o translations/messages.pot .
Flask Babel cannot find new words in {% cache %} block
Hi there
I have a question So we all know that .mo will be cached in flask app I just want to know if when we run flask server it caches all .mo files at the beginning? Or is it just when we switch languages then it creates domain objects and caches that .mo file?
I thought caching all mo files at the beginning would minimize IO time
Now with Flask-Babel it is not possible to use gettext particular callables (pgettext, npgettext) in Jinja templates, but install_gettext_callables()
supports it. This PR fixes that.
Not a problem with the code itself, but it looks like someone needs to update pypi ... it's the first hit on google for the project, and is still linking to https://flask-babel.tkte.ch/ for the documentation, which doesn't exist.
There is a small typo in flask_babel/init.py.
Should read translations
rather than tranlations
.
