如何让你的Python程序支持多语言

如何让你的Python程序支持多语言

本文介绍如何通过Python标准库gettext帮助你的程序支持多语言。

代码例子

import random

guessesTaken = 0

print(_("Hello! What's your name?"))
myName = input()

number = random.randint(1, 20)
print("Well, {}, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.".format(myName))

while guessesTaken < 6:
    print("Take a guess.")
    guess = input()
    try:
        guess = int(guess)
    except ValueError:
        print("You should give me a number.")
        continue

    if guess < number:
        print("Your guess is too low.")

    if guess > number:
        print("You guess is too high.")

    if guess == number:
        break

if guess == number:
    print("Good job, {}! You guessed my number in {} guesses!".format(
        myName, guessesTaken))

if guess != number:
    print("Nope. The number I was thinking of was {}.".format(number))

这是我们一个简单的猜数字游戏，我们执行看看过程。

$ python3 guess.py 
Hello! What's your name?
Aidan
Well, Aidan, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.
Take a guess.
13
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
2
Your guess is too low.
Take a guess.
12
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
1
Your guess is too low.
Take a guess.
10
You guess is too high.
Take a guess.
9
Good job, Aidan! You guessed my number in 6 guesses!

程序是很漂亮了，可是老板突然要求你改成中文的，那么我们通常可能选择将字符串全部修改为相应中文，但是老板要让你自己针对不同用户不同语言就麻烦了。那有啥办法呢？Python标准库gettext可以帮助我们。
