Have been writing a Turkish Django app for the past couple of days. The problem is that the Turkish language best works with UTF-8. If you are using MySQL you must make sure that your encoding is utf8_turkish_ci
.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
class Category(models.Model):
name = models.CharField("Kategori Adı",max_length=250)
exp = models.TextField("Kategori Açıklaması")
ancestor = models.IntegerField("Kategori Üst Başlığı",max_length=11)
ancestor.null = True
ancestor.blank = True
class Meta:
verbose_name = u"Kategori"
verbose_name_plural = u"Kategoriler"
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
You should notice couple of important points here. The most important one being the
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
This is important so that Python can understand UTF-8 strings within the model.
I hope this solves couple of questions you might have.
