I am building a multi-language site with one of the languages "farsi": Everything worked fine so far, but the right to left language "farsi/persian" is not aligned right, when beginning a next line of text. That means the next line is not aligned at the right as usual for right-to-left languages. The translation work.
settings.py
gettext = lambda s: s
#default language shoul开发者_运维技巧d be german
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'de'
#LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
#LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fa'
LANGUAGES = (
#('fr', gettext('French')),
('de', gettext('German')),
('en', gettext('English')),
('fa', gettext('Farsi')),
#('pt-br', gettext("Brazil")),
)
language_chooser.html
{% load localeurl_tags %}
{% load i18n %}
{% load tabs %}
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
{% ifequal lang.0 LANGUAGE_CODE %}
<li class="active"><a>{{ lang.1 }}</a></li>
{% else %}
<!--
{% if LANGUAGE_BIDI %}
<li>The current language is bidirectional</li>
{% else %}
<li>The current language is <b>not</b> bidirectional</li>
{% endif %}
-->
<li class="{% ifactivetab "en" %}active{% else %}inactive{% endifactivetab %}"><a href="{{ request.path|chlocale:lang.0 }}" accesskey="2">{{ lang.1 }}</a></li>
{% endifequal %}
{% endfor %}
in the base.html I also load:
{% load i18n %}
{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
{% get_current_language_bidi as LANGUAGE_BIDI %}
My django.po file for "farsi/persian" language looks like:
How can I manage this?
Solution: After defining a new css class "article_right_aligned_language" with the attribute "text-align:right; direction:rtl" and modifying my base template as follows, it works now !!
<div {% if LANGUAGE_BIDI %} class="article_right_aligned_language" {% else %} class="article" {% endif %}>
{% block site_wrapper %}{% endblock %}
</div>
Text alignment is handled by CSS not Django. Set the text-align
property on the container element:
.container.right-aligned-language {
text-align: right;
}
Then you can apply the class right-aligned-language
to your container (or body tag for that matter) with a conditional statement in your template.
nowadays you should use in CSS:
direction: rtl

Use this instead please:

CSS is for style and not content.
