Internationalization and Localization Support
This feature is only supported in the Professional edition.
Overview
i18n support with PyCharm falls into the following major aspects:
- Internationalization, which involves extracting strings out of your source code and presenting them as properties that are further referenced in the source code.
- Localization, which means translating these properties into the target languages.
i18n-related features
PyCharm provides helpful features that simplify working on software internationalization and localization issues. These features are:
- Possibility to run i18n-related tasks of the
manage.py
utility. - Syntax highlighting in
*.po
files. - Intention action to surround blocks of text in Django templates.
- Navigation between blocks of text and locales.
Prerequisites
i18n support is available for the Django applications.
-
gettext

locale
directory is created in the project root. - Django is the project template language.
