Demo

Live demo

See the live demo app on Heroku.

Run demo locally

In order to be able to quickly evaluate the django-i18next, a demo app (with a quick installer) has been created (works on Ubuntu/Debian, may work on other Linux systems as well, although not guaranteed). Follow the instructions below for having the demo running within a minute.

Grab the latest django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh:

$ wget https://raw.github.com/barseghyanartur/django-i18next/stable/examples/django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Assign execute rights to the installer and run the django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh:

$ chmod +x django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh
$ ./django_i18next_example_app_installer.sh

Open your browser and test the app.

If quick installer doesn’t work for you, see the manual steps on running the example project.

Debugging

By default debugging is turned off. Set the I18NEXT_DEBUG to True in the settings.py of your project in order to do so.
