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" %}

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.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
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.
