Enmerkar is a Python library providing utilities for integrating Babel, a powerful internationalization and localization toolkit, with Django web applications. It is a fork of `django-babel` and is currently at version 0.7.1, offering compatibility with modern Django and Python versions. Releases are infrequent but target essential Django updates.
pip install enmerkarVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Configure Enmerkar by adding it to `INSTALLED_APPS` and its `LocaleMiddleware` to `MIDDLEWARE`. Crucially, define `BABEL_DEFAULT_LOCALE` and `BABEL_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE` in your `settings.py`. Then, use `{% load babel %}` in your templates to access Babel's formatting filters for dates, times, and numbers.
Ensure your project runs on Python 3.5+ and Django 2.2+ before upgrading to Enmerkar 0.7.1 or newer. Downgrade Enmerkar or upgrade your environment.
Uninstall `django-babel` and install `enmerkar`. Update all references in `settings.py` (e.g., `INSTALLED_APPS`, `MIDDLEWARE`) and any direct Python imports from `django_babel` to `enmerkar`.
Always define `BABEL_DEFAULT_LOCALE` (e.g., 'en_US') and `BABEL_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE` (e.g., 'Europe/London') in your Django `settings.py` to prevent `ImproperlyConfigured` errors.
