from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _


class LanguageMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):

    def process_request(self, request):
        """
        function to activate the translation
        """
        if 'lang' in request.GET:
            language = request.GET.get('lang', 'id')
            if language in dict(settings.LANGUAGES).keys():
                request.session['_language'] = language

        language = request.session.get('_language', 'id')
        translation.activate(language)

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
