Django Translation Not working

Question

I have a view which has the following code. I need to translate am and pm to arabic

which is display by %p. I called this in template by ajax.I tried by doing

_strptime("%I:%M %p"),bit its not working. Here this code strftime("%I:%M %p") is used

to display time 1:00AM to 2:00 PM. How will i translate this:

result['start'] = datetime.strptime((str(delivery_area_timing.start)[:-3]),   

"%H:%M").strftime("%I:%M %p")

Ajax code:

$("#shop_work_hours").html(data.start+' {% trans 'to' %} '+data.end);

Answer 1

This is not done by Translation in Django. You will have to set the locale for printing a date in that language. For e.g. printing date in Arabic (must be supported by your OS):

import time
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'arabic')
print (time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S"))
