如何让你的Python程序支持多语言
如何让你的Python程序支持多语言
代码例子import random
guessesTaken = 0
print(_("Hello! What's your name?"))
myName = input()
number = random.randint(1, 20)
print("Well, {}, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.".format(myName))
while guessesTaken < 6:
print("Take a guess.")
guess = input()
try:
guess = int(guess)
except ValueError:
print("You should give me a number.")
continue
if guess < number:
print("Your guess is too low.")
if guess > number:
print("You guess is too high.")
if guess == number:
break
if guess == number:
print("Good job, {}! You guessed my number in {} guesses!".format(
myName, guessesTaken))
if guess != number:
print("Nope. The number I was thinking of was {}.".format(number))
这是我们一个简单的猜数字游戏，我们执行看看过程。
$ python3 guess.py
Hello! What's your name?
Aidan
Well, Aidan, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.
Take a guess.
13
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
2
Your guess is too low.
Take a guess.
12
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
1
Your guess is too low.
Take a guess.
10
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
9
Good job, Aidan! You guessed my number in 6 guesses!
程序是很漂亮了，可是老板突然要求你改成中文的，那么我们通常可能选择将字符串全部修改为相应中文，但是老板要让你自己针对不同用户不同语言就麻烦了。那有啥办法呢？Python标准库gettext可以帮助我们。
改造
我们首先用_()，然改造我们的字符串。你可以把_()想象成类似如下函数
def _(s):
spanishStrings = {'Hello world!': 'Hola Mundo!'}
frenchStrings = {'Hello world!': 'Bonjour le monde!'}
germanStrings = {'Hello world!': 'Hallo Welt!'}
if LANGUAGE == 'English':
return s
if LANGUAGE == 'Spanish':
return spanishStrings[s]
if LANGUAGE == 'French':
return frenchStrings[s]
if LANGUAGE == 'German':
return germanStrings[s]
不过，当我查看他类型时，我发现他应该是某种继承了list的扩展类型。
>>> type(_)
<class 'list'>
改造后我们的代码如下
import random
guessesTaken = 0
print(_("Hello! What's your name?"))
myName = input()
number = random.randint(1, 20)
print(_("Well, {}, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.").format(myName))
while guessesTaken < 6:
guessesTaken += 1
print(_("Take a guess."))
guess = input()
try:
guess = int(guess)
except ValueError:
print(_("You should give me a number."))
continue
if guess < number:
print(_("Your guess is too low."))
if guess > number:
print(_("You guess is too high."))
if guess == number:
break
if guess == number:
print(_("Good job, {}! You guessed my number in {} guesses!").format(
myName, guessesTaken))
if guess != number:
print(_("Nope. The number I was thinking of was {}.").format(number))
提取字符串
Python 自带一个工具我们提取使用_()包裹的字符串
pygettext3 -d guess guess.py
它生成了如下文件：
$ cat guess.pot
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR ORGANIZATION
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.
#

msgstr ""
