Angular translation Settings

Rosetta can be configured via the following parameters, to be defined in your project settings file:

  • ROSETTA_ENABLE_ANGULAR_TRANSLATION: Enable translation for Angular files. Defaults to False.
  • ROSETTA_ANGULAR_TRANSLATION_FILE_PATH: Path to Angular .pot file. Defaults to ````.
  • ROSETTA_ANGULAR_TRANSLATION_STORAGE_CLASS: See the note below on Storages. Defaults to rosetta.angular_translation_storage.CacheAngularTranslationStorage

Angular translation Storages

To prevent re-reading and parsing the PO file catalogs over and over again to get Angular translations, Rosetta stores them in a volatile location. This can be either the Django cache or something else you want.

We use the Cache-based backend by default ('rosetta.angular_translation_storage.CacheAngularTranslationStorage'). Please make sure that a proper CACHES backend is configured in your Django settings if your Django app is being served in a multi-process environment, or the different server processes, serving subsequent requests, won’t find the storage data left by previous requests.

Alternatively you can switch to using other storage by setting ROSETTA_ANGULAR_TRANSLATION_STORAGE_CLASS = 'path.to.your.storage' in your settings.

TL;DR: if you run Django with gunincorn, mod-wsgi or other multi-process environment, the Django-default CACHES LocMemCache backend won’t suffice: use memcache instead, or you will run into issues.
