It provides locale objects for all locales maintained by the ICU project, gettext-based message catalogs for translating message strings, and utilities for discovering the appropriate locale from web-based requests. The package handles pluralization, number and date formatting for different locales, and integrates with the Zope component architecture through dependencies on zope.schema, zope.component, and zope.deprecation.\n\nThe package is designed for developers building multilingual applications who need robust locale support and translation workflows. It abstracts away the complexity of managing multiple language variants, character sets, and locale-specific formatting rules. Recent versions (6.0) modernized the codebase by replacing pkg_resources with PEP 420 native namespaces, and the package maintains support for current Python versions (3.9 through 3.13) and PyPy.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Zope-based application or need a mature, battle-tested i18n framework with ICU locale support. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports modern Python versions. The aging maintenance status (336 days since release) is not a blocker for production use but suggests you should monitor the repository for security updates. The ZPL-2.1 license is OSI-approved but marked unclear in the fact sheet\u2014verify compatibility with your project's licensing requirements before committing."},"id":"zope-i18n","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-i18n","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-i18n.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-i18n/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.i18n","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Zope Internationalization Support"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":175033,"position":10273,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0"}
