RE: append language-code tot variable name

Have you considered internationalization and localization as an alternative to what you are doing?

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/i18n/

 

To do what you are doing, you would need to do it in the view function, something like this:

context['title'] = getattr(artobject, "%s_%s" % (title, LANGUAGE_CODE))

 

And in your template:

{{ title|safe|capfirst }}

 

 

You might also be able to create your own filter that would take two arguments: the prefix and the language code.  You would do that if you really want that logic in your template and not inside the view function.  Check this out for information on creating your own template filters:

Subject: append language-code tot variable name

 

In my templates I have variables as {{ artobject.title|safe|capfirst }}. I want the site in more languages.So in changed the model: title changed in title_nl, and I appended title_de, title_en, title_fr. This is more easy for me than po-files.

A template must work for all languages,so the variable above in the template must become {{ artobject.title_nl|safe|capfirst }} etc.There is a variable {{ LANGUAGE_CODE }}, but nesting the variables: {{ artobject.title_{{ LANGUAGE_CODE }}|safe|capfirst }} does not work. How can I solve this?
