Internationalization
Nova uses the oslo.i18n library to support internationalization. The oslo.i18n library is built on top of gettext and provides functions that are used to enable user-facing strings such as log messages to appear in the appropriate language in different locales.
Nova exposes the oslo.i18n library support via the
nova/i18n.py
integration module. This module provides the
functions needed to wrap translatable strings. It provides the
_()
wrapper for general user-facing messages and specific
wrappers for messages used only for logging. DEBUG level messages do not
need translation but CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING and INFO messages should
be wrapped with _LC()
, _LE()
,
_LW()
or _LI()
respectively.
For example:
LOG.debug("block_device_mapping %(mapping)s",
{'mapping': block_device_mapping})
or:
LOG.warning(_LW('Unknown base file %(img)s'), {'img': img})
You should use the basic wrapper _()
for strings which
are not log messages:
raise nova.SomeException(_('Invalid service catalogue'))
Do not use locals()
for formatting messages because: 1.
It is not as clear as using explicit dicts. 2. It could produce hidden
errors during refactoring. 3. Changing the name of a variable causes a
change in the message. 4. It creates a lot of otherwise unused
variables.
If you do not follow the project conventions, your code may cause hacking checks to fail.
The _()
, _LC()
, _LE()
,
_LW()
and _LI()
functions can be imported
with:
from nova.i18n import _
from nova.i18n import _LC
from nova.i18n import _LE
from nova.i18n import _LW
from nova.i18n import _LI
