I have configured the Jinja environment with env.install_gettext_translations(translation, newstyle=True)
and the jinja2.ext.i18n
extension.
I can only use the _()
, _gettext()
and ngettext()
functions in my jinja2 templates.
I want to use pgettext()
(django docs) as well to add a context to the translatable strings. Is there an extension that does this, or am I missing something?
update: I have posted a feature request #793. I would still like to know whether there is an answer that can be used right now.
I don't believe that what you want exists in Jinja... (at least for now)
If you take a look at this issue the developer pretty much states that he won't do it:
This would require patches as I'm not using pgettext myself.
Then he closed the issue.
This was created back in 2014 and something may have changed but I don't think so (based on another issue).
By searching a bit around I found this project which may help: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jinja2-django-tags/0.1. There I read:
You can also use _, gettext and pgettext directly:
Simple example: {{ _('Hello World') }} More verbose: {{ gettext('Hello World') }} With context: {{ pgettext('Hello World', 'another example') }}
Good luck :)
