  galaxy gettext

  • The language default value is considered the fallback during i18n translations to ensure in odd cases that mixed languages don’t occur should the language file contain the string but not another language in the accepted languages list. The language value only applies when getting a list of accepted languages from the HTTP Accept header.
  • This behavior is duplicated from Aquarium, and may seem strange but is very useful. Normally, everything in the code is in “en-us”. However,  the “en-us” translation catalog is usually empty. If the user requests ["en-us", "zh-cn"] and a translation isn’t found for a string in “en-us”, you don’t want gettext to fallback to “zh-cn”. You want it to  just use the string itself. Hence, if a string isn’t found in the language catalog, the string in the source code will be used.
