+# App Engine Internationalization sample in Python
+
+A simple example app showing how to build an internationalized app
+with App Engine. The main purpose of this example is to provide the
+basic how-to.
+
+## What to internationalize
+
+There are lots of things to internationalize with your web
+applications.
+
+1.  Strings in Python code
+2.  Strings in HTML template
+3.  Strings in Javascript
+4.  Common strings
+    - Country Names, Language Names, etc.
+5.  Formatting
+    - Date/Time formatting
+    - Number formatting
+    - Currency
+6.  Timezone conversion
+
+This example only covers first 3 basic scenarios above. In order to
+cover other aspects, I recommend using
+[Babel](http://babel.edgewall.org/) and [pytz]
+(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gaepytz). Also, you may want to use
+[webapp2_extras.i18n](http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/tutorials/i18n.html)
+module.
+
+## Wait, so why not webapp2_extras.i18n?
+
+webapp2_extras.i18n doesn't cover how to internationalize strings in
+Javascript code. Additionally it depends on babel and pytz, which
+means you need to deploy babel and pytz alongside with your code. I'd
+like to show a reasonably minimum example for string
+internationalization in Python code, jinja2 templates, as well as
+Javascript.
+
+## How to run this example
+
+First of all, please install babel in your local Python environment.
+
+### Wait, you just said I don't need babel, are you crazy?
+
+As I said before, you don't need to deploy babel with this
+application, but you need to locally use pybabel script which is
+provided by babel distribution in order to extract the strings, manage
+and compile the translations file.
+
+### Extract strings in Python code and Jinja2 templates to translate
+
+Move into this project directory and invoke the following command:
+
+    $ env PYTHONPATH=/google_appengine_sdk/lib/jinja2 \
+        pybabel extract -o locales/messages.pot -F main.mapping .
+
+This command creates a `locales/messages.pot` file in the `locales`
+directory which contains all the string found in your Python code and
+Jija2 tempaltes.
+
+Since the babel configration file `main.mapping` contains a reference
+to `jinja2.ext.babel_extract` helper function which is provided by
+jinja2 distribution bundled with the App Engine SDK, you need to add a
+PYTHONPATH environment variable pointing to the jinja2 directory in
+the SDK.
+
+### Manage and compile translations.
+
+Create an initial translation source by the following command:
+
+    $ pybabel init -l ja -d locales -i locales/messages.pot
+
+Open `locales/ja/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po` with any text editor and
+translate the strings, then compile the file by the following command:
+
+    $ pybabel compile -d locales
+
+If any of the strings changes, you can extract the strings again, and
+update the translations by the following command:
+
+    $ pybabel update -l ja -d locales -i locales/messages.pot
+
+Note: If you run `pybabel init` against an existant translations file,
+you will lose your translations.
+
+
+### Extract strings in Javascript code and compile translations
+
+    $ pybabel extract -o locales/jsmessages.pot -F js.mapping .
+    $ pybabel init -l ja -d locales -i locales/jsmessages.pot -D jsmessages
+
+Open `locales/ja/LC_MESSAGES/jsmessages.po` and translate it.
+
+    $ pybabel compile -d locales -D jsmessages
+
+
+## How it works
+
+As you can see it in the `appengine_config.py` file, our
+`main.application` is wrapped by the `i18n_utils.I18nMiddleware` WSGI
+middleware. When a request comes in, this middleware parses the
+`HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE` HTTP header, loads available translation
+files(`messages.mo`) from the application directory, and install the
+`gettext` and `ngettext` functions to the `__builtin__` namespace in
+the Python runtime.
+
+For strings in Jinja2 templates, there is the `i18n_utils.BaseHandler`
+class from which you can extend in order to have a handy property
+named `jinja2_env` that lazily initializes Jinja2 environment for you
+with the `jinja2.ext.i18n` extention, and similar to the
+`I18nMiddleware`, installs `gettext` and `ngettext` functions to the
+global namespace of the Jinja2 environment.
+
+## What about Javascript?
+
+The `BaseHandler` class also installs the `get_i18n_js_tag()` instance
+method to the Jinja2 global namespace. When you use this function in
+your Jinja2 template (like in the `index.jinja2` file), you will get a
+set of Javascript functions; `gettext`, `ngettext`, and `format` on
+the string type. The `format` function can be used with `ngettext`ed
+strings for number formatting. See this example:
+
+    window.alert(ngettext(
+        'You need to provide at least {0} item.',
+        'You need to provide at least {0} items.',
+        n).format(n);
