#DjangoConUS #Keynote #Django #AI
I’ve been learning how to do #internalization in #django for one of my projects, and it’s been pretty painless. It’s nice how Django includes a #javascript library and automatically pulls translation strings from scripts as well.
So far I’m not worrying about right to left languages or anything yet, just getting everything working as a cursory base with some other left to right languages. Next I need to work on date and time formats and then I’ll be about finished!
I have seen a few posts about #supportdjango today, I have donated monthly for a fair while through my freelancing business by giving a percentage of my revenue to the DSF. This is also marked on my invoices so my clients know they are in part contributing to #django through me.
Any other agencies or freelancers doing the same? If not I encourage it!

Are there any recommended 3rd party libraries if one wanted to build a light-weight data reporting tool for internally tracking various metrics? In Django.

📣 DjangoCon 2026 Review

I’m happy to see this Django feature finished:
We replaced the blank choice label of a select form control with words, rather than only dashes.
Why?
Not every screen reader pronounces dashes, meaning that some configurations could not read the original blank choice text.
Plus, it’s always great to have more options to customize your forms!
I ran out of spoons after coding the proof of concept, but the great thing about OSS is that there is a team that can pick up where you left off. 🚀
