Change country order based on user language
HenryMehta opened this issue · comments
I have a Django app which django-countries
. I would like to alter the order of the countries shown based on the user's language. For example if the user is using French, I will bring France, Belgium, Luxumburg, Switzerland etc to the top, whereas if they select German I will bring up Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc.
I can set COUNTRIES_FIRST = ['FR','BE','LU','CH']
within settings, but that ordering is then used for all user languages.
Is there a way to base the order on the user's language?
I have tried modifying the COUNTRIES_FIRST
within a view, for example
if self.administration_instance.study.instrument.language == 'French':
settings.COUNTRIES_FIRST = ['FR','CH','BE','LU']
translation.activate(self.user_language)
But this clearly doesn't work
There's not a way at the moment to have the countries_first ordered by user language. It'd be an easy addition with a new setting if someone wanted to tackle it!
