What it is and what it does
django-statici18n solves a performance problem in Django applications that use JavaScript internationalization. Django's built-in JSONCatalog view generates translation catalogs dynamically on every request, which adds overhead as sites grow. This package pre-compiles those catalogs into static files that can be served directly, eliminating the per-request generation cost.
The package works by collecting JavaScript translation catalogs from your Django apps and compiling them into static files using a management command. It integrates with Django's staticfiles framework and supports modern Django versions (4.2 LTS, 5.2 LTS, and 6.0) across Python 3.8 through 3.14. Installation is straightforward: add it to INSTALLED_APPS, run the compilejsi18n command after translating and compiling your messages, and update your templates to reference the static catalog instead of the dynamic view.
Use it for
- Optimize JavaScript translation performance in multi-language Django sites by pre-compiling catalogs.
- Reduce server load by serving static i18n files instead of generating them per request.
- Integrate static JavaScript translations with Django's staticfiles collection and CDN deployment.
- Support client-side gettext-like translation functions with pre-compiled message catalogs.
- Simplify template code by using provided template tags to include compiled i18n catalogs.
