[Django]-How can I change Django admin language?

20๐Ÿ‘

You can create /en/admin, /fr/admin/ and so on using i18n_patterns:

urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

(For Django <= 1.7, you must specify a prefix, use i18n_patterns('', ... ))

In your settings.py just add 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware' to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting, making sure it appears after 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'.

Here is a slightly modified version of a code snippet from the Django docs for admin/base.html that adds a language selection dropdown:

{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}
{% block userlinks %}
{{ block.super }}
/ <form action="{% url 'set_language' %}" method="post" style="display:inline">{% csrf_token %}
    <input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ redirect_to }}">
    <select name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()">
        {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
        {% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
        {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
        {% for language in languages %}
            <option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected{% endif %}>
                {{ language.name_local }} ({{ language.code }})
            </option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
</form>
{% endblock %}

For this to work you also need to add the following to your urlpatterns:

path('i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),

Change your browser default language.

Instead of spoiling the code. E.g.,
Chrome -> Settings -> Language -> Preferred languages: move upper Language you need.

Refresh browser, and the admin panel will change the displayed language.
