Description

It would be very nice to be able to translate into any specified language at any time, especially in templates, e.g.

{% trans "Change language to", "fr" %} {% trans "French", "fr" %}
{% trans "Change language to", "es" %} {% trans "Spanish", "es" %}

or

{% setlang "fr" %}
{% trans "Change language to" %} {% trans "French" %}
{% setlang "es" %}
{% trans "Change language to" %} {% trans "Spanish" %}

I'm tempted to say "no, if you want that, write a custom tag", since it's not that hard to do so and it's a corner-case. Want to think about it some more, though.

My comment from 2007 still kind of holds. Given the relative scarcity of this, it's not up for inclusion in Django at the moment.
