Querying localized content ========================== .. note:: All examples below assume a model declared like this: .. code-block:: python from localized_fields.models import LocalizedModel from localized_fields.fields import LocalizedField class MyModel(LocalizedModel): title = LocalizedField() Active language --------------- Only need a value in a specific language? Use the ``LocalizedRef`` expression to query a value in the currently active language: .. code-block:: python from localized_fields.expressions import LocalizedRef MyModel.objects.create(title=dict(en="Hello", nl="Hallo")) translation.activate("nl") english_title = ( MyModel .objects .annotate(title=LocalizedRef("title")) .values_list("title", flat=True) .first() ) print(english_title) # prints "Hallo" Specific language ----------------- .. code-block:: python from localized_fields.expressions import LocalizedRef result = ( MyModel .objects .values( 'title__en', 'title__nl', ) .first() ) print(result['title__en']) print(result['title__nl'])
