I want to display language icons instead of names in Django template.
My code looks like this:
{% load static i18n %}
{% get_current_language as CURRENT_LANGUAGE %}
{% get_available_languages as AVAILABLE_LANGUAGES %}
{% get_language_info_list for AVAILABLE_LANGUAGES as languages %}
<div id="language">
{% for language in languages %}
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/{{ language.code }}/"
{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} {% endif %}>
{{ language.name|slice:":3" }}
</a>
</li>
</ul>
{% endfor %}
</div>
Is there any possible ways to achieve that goal or I have to try different ways?
solution for that was to change that rows to this:
<a href="/{{ language.code }}/"
{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} {% endif %}>
<img src="/static/images/{{ language.name }}.png" alt="Geo">
</a>
And you have to place icons in static folder with the language names for english -> English and so on.
CodePudding user response:
The harder part is assembling your set of country flag images together somewhere.
The easy part is using your language context to get an <img>
reference, for example
<img ... src="somewhere/{{language.name|slice:":3"}}.gif" >
You might want to take a look at the django-countries package. Use it, or use it for ideas.
